RE: Are shielded cables declasse?

Howdy

Playing the devil's advocate:

You said "if you can hear an ic's difference in one position in the system ie between pre and power there seems to me absolutly no reason why it could not be heard elsewhere ..unless there a serious equipment or impedance mismatch."

Yet in a digital only system (i.e. ignoring the vinyl cartridge to phono pre connection) the pre to amp path is typically the lowest level signal and hence is more sensitive to any constant background interference, be it a ground loop, EMI, RFI or whatever.
