Default Shielded mains cable

What difference would the proximity of lots of screened unbalanced signals

Every dB of reduction of hum you can get from the shielded power cable,
and from the patch cords ("interconnects") helps. If you have a system
that would normally have 120dB S/N. Now, if you want to listen to AM
radio or some scratchy vinyl (because you like the programming, and it's
not available on a lower noise source), then the shielded power cord
probably won't be noticed.


Actually I think AM radio is the only place I have noticed shielded
power cords making any difference.
