A lot of cable designers skip the shield in their cables. Teo Audio, Sablon Audio and Acoustic BBQ are at least three brands that fall into this category. They report the SQ as being more lively.
Is shielding necessary on interconnects & speaker cables
I have a tube cd player and a intergrated tube amp. I am getting ready to buy speaker cables and interconnects. Do I need to buy shielded or unshielded cables. What are the pros and cons of each type. Is there sonically any differences. I am leaning towards unshielded. Thanks
