RE: Are shielded cables declasse?

About 6 months back I switched from a pair of shielded, garden-hose type IC's to a pair of Kimber Hero's (both pairs are XLR).

The Hero's are a simple twisted or braided design with some techflex protecting the conductors. The air and dynamics of the Hero's far exceed that of the shielded IC's. I tried the shielded one more time after recently switching speakers and had the same result - loss of air and mid/high dynamics. The Hero's are keepers.

Disclaimer: I have yet to hear any difference in IC's between source and preamp; only between preamp and amp (when I had such a set-up).
