Hi.
even for my phonostage I/P signal path.
So silky, transparent, smooth & musical. That's is the charm of no shielding to the twisted pairs to generate undesired shield-to-conductor capacitance.
For short lengths of properly twisted pairs, I don't have any hum/noise issue as contrary to the assumption by many that no shield brings in hum.
