AC Power Cable question

Cable Asylum

Interconnects, speaker wire, power cords. Ask the Cable Guys.

So I've been experimenting with AC power cords in my system and when I changed from a shielded power cord to an unshielded power cord on my phonostage, I noted an increase in the surface noise from my turntable. Is there an explanation for this?

The unshielded cord rendered a much wider, open soundstage with better and more robust bass compared to the shielded cord, though I noticed maybe a touch less refinement.

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Have a great Labor Day Weekend!
