Unshielded RCA cable is bad design. The truth is that unshielded RCA cable is bad design and should be avoided. Unshielded unbalanced cables are very sensitive to capacitive coupling especially when circuit impedance is high (impedance mostly determined by signal source output impedance in HIFI systems). For example power cords radiate a magnetic field and →
