There's no magic in proper engineering practices. Using
shielded mains cables can reduce noise, period..

You're talking audiophool myth.

Or, poorly-designed audio gear. This can be a problem with equipment
designed by the sorts of incomptents that ply the audio high end consumer
market.

I'll bet you can't substantiate such a claim with a technical description
for it.

There's been a lot of weirdness in high end audio gear - power amps that
burned down people's houses, DACs that were highly dependent on some
specific properties of the input cables, power amps that were highly
dependent on the use of certain speaker cables, etc. Most knowlegable people
would call this bad design, but "any difference is perceived as an
improvement" is a common among high end audiophiles and reviewers. IOW how
many reviews have suggested that a piece of gear that was inordinately
sensitive to odd properties of cable was "highly revealing of quality
differences in cables"?
