Mapleshade Cables

Kenneth, I believe they state that their cables are unshielded.

Just call them to return the cables.

I ordered the Double Helix speaker cables (with the 'Plus' treatment [cryo?]). I had no need or desire to return them. I just love them. They are a bit odd looking, decidedly non-high-end looking in fact.

I've had speaker cables in my system that retail from $2000 to $3300, and I think the $500 Double Helix Plus speaker wire beats them all. Flat out.

My pre-amp and amps are tubed; so, I don't know if that makes any difference to the result.

Note: I have no interest in Mapleshade, no personal or financial connection to Mapleshade or its employees.

I returned a pair of Omega Micro power cords to Lloyd Walker (I believe Mapleshade makes them). Only reason I didnt use them was they were too delicate for my application and I was afraid I would damage them) Lloyd sent a check the day they received them, no questions, no complaints. As courteous, efficient and professional as one could wish.
I can certainly guarantee you a pleasant experience either way if you deal with Lloyd Walker.
