i was reading through this article here about audio cables: http://www.rane.com/note110.html
according to the diagram on that page, it shows that on an XLR cable, the shield should not be connected on the female end. is this really true? because on the mic cables i've made, i left it connected at both ends. they didn't really explain why it would be beneficial to leave the shield on the "from output" side disconnected, and have it connected at the "to input" side.
