Running twisted pair for speaker wire cancels out induced current, running 
shielded twisted pair for input level sources, cancels out induced current 
and providing the shields are attached and grounded properly, drains most 
other interference...                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                                     single point grounding
I can't see how dual or quad shield rg-59 can improve performance on an audio 
circuit.  I beleive I mentioned in a previous message about incorrect cabling 
between a Low-z send and a Hi-z input on the peavey amp ... the Mackie sends 
can be wired Low-z using a "Stereo" 1/4" plug (tip, ring, sleeve) as can the 
peavey amp ... look there first ... you probably have a balanced send out of 
the board on to the snake and you've plugged in a two wire cable from the 
snake to the amp .... or possibly your eq or something ... you should run the 
whole mess balanced to avoid hte nasty hum associated with long Hi-z sends ..
get it yet?
