JPS Labs Ultraconductor has solid core conductors and no shielding. Because of this, is it subject to interference and hum? Nevetheless, even with these caveats, the sound seems to be terrific. Is shielding that important?
Van Den Hul makes cables both ways. "The First" cables are unshielded. "The Second" cables are basically the same construction but shielded. "The First" performs better in most opinions, so the shielding must have an effect on the sound.
