Hi all,
 
I am making a splitter (3.5 mm male to two 3.5 mm female connectors) using Neutrix/Reen connectors. When wiring without a shield I am not getting channel separation and the sound is muted. I am wondering if I can simply wrap a ground/shield wire and solder to the connectors as opposed to soldering a conventional shield. I am limited, in diameter, to the size of the 3.5 mm connectors so I can't use the shielded wire I have. When simply wrapping the left and right channel wires with a ground wire it fits perfectly in the sleeving and into the connectors. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. 
 
Thanks in advance.

Shure. You don't need a shield, just a ground connection, which can just be a length of wire.
