Would be interesting to compare the capacitance specifications of the two cables if you have access to them. A guess is that the shielded cable had higher capacitance and this gave you the treble you did not like. If the guess turns out to line up with reality, you could try a shielded cable of lower capacitance design.
shielding of interconnects: positive or negative
my experience using shielded and non shielded interconnects from the same manufacturer points to a disadvantage using shielded cables.
i had the opportunity to compare a shielded and non shielded version of a one meter interconnect from the Element cable company and i own a shielded and non shielded pair of interconnects manufactured by Sounstring Audio.
i found that the shielded version changes the frequency response, adding unwanted extra treble energy.
does nanyone have confirming or differing experiences in this area ?
