How important Is shielding with RCA wires? (Ethan Winer, new video)

I find shielding closes in the sound

@stringreen 

shielding block lots of RF noises and such..  someone on YouTube used a device to listen to his cables.. he was picking up broadcasts from AM and all kinds of noise..  shielding makes sense with low signal cables..

@audio-union Thanks for your informative post. What would your definition of "real science" be? How would you put that into words? Asking seriously, not snarkily.

Am currently reading a classic in the history of science, The Edge of Objectivity (1960) and wonder how you’d articulate real science.

Nothing's important, until it is. 

Someone explain to me: Balanced makes sense, backstage, long runs, ... to prevent problems.

It is not about 'better', it's 'prevention'.

And yet, so many say 'balanced SOUNDs better? 

Why, How, certainly not my experience.

If I had a problem, then it would be important.
