I will simply quote a trusted expert for an example, Chakster.
So, the disadvantage would be the converse of what he says. Potentially higher capacitance, for example.
However, you miss my point. My point was that you and Invictus are making these blanket statements as if they are facts, and absolutes. Nobody is "unintelligent" for using something that works. There are NO absolutes in this hobby. You are misdirecting the OP by providing your opinion as if it is fact. It may be fact in SOME situations... but not in others.
And, the fact that it works for me isn't any kind of miracle. As stated by Atmasphere and others in this thread, there are some situations where a shielded phono cable is not as good as an unshielded one.

A further advantage is that unshielded cables have lower capacitance per foot, which is really helpful when dealing with the resonance that develops due to the cartridge inductance and the cable capacitance.
