On the Cable Asylum, unshielded interconnect are all the rage for everything except phono. I am going to give it a try, but first, I will solder up a cheap set to see if I can get away with it. Actually, it is not very expensive to use premium wire and RCA's if you DIY, so I plan to give it a try. I did hear a very noticeable difference when I switched from the NAD stainless steel jumpers on my NAD Integrated, to Audioquest silver wire jumpers, so I am open to the idea that cables can affect the sound.

The last thing I have to finish up is cabling.
What wire and cables did you DIY with?
I may start a new thread on vintage gear and upgrading with new cables.
I have not started yet, but I have bought rolls of cheap RatShack solid core cables which I will experiment with different geometrys. When I get something that sounds superior, I will substitute better cable and connectors. Neotech Teflon Insulation solid core hookup wire looks like a good deal when I am ready to go for better quality. 1877 RCA connectors look like a good deal for the build quality. I am not sure about spades yet. VH Audio has some nice wire and connectors but they are a little more expensive.

I used unshielded between my Rabco tonearm and phono stage then from the phono stage to the line stage as well. No noise.
