I removed the shielding of my homemade high end powercable and boy did it make a difference! At first it sounded realy dark and unfocussed. After i removed the shielding and twisted the pair it sounded al of a sudden the way i wanted it to sound, nice clean and focussed. Now i can hear all details present. Now the cable is so good, i can hear the cheap cd player is not up to the task.
The staging is closer to eachother, not as wide as it was with the shielding but much better focus,detail and clarity.
If you have double shielded cables, you can try out to remove it, good bet it sounds much better without.
Seems that they use shielding for making a specific sound in a cable... wich shouldn't be.
it was shielded this way:
core...teflon...copper shielding...outer shielding pvc. So, i removed the copper shielding and the outer shielding and twisted the teflon cores into eachother and connected them to the rhodium plated furutechs.
