...positive, common/neutral, and a shield. The latter is sometimes connected separately to the equipment but more commonly is connected to neutral only at the driven-equipment end.Generally, cable with conductors that are identical for positive and neutral (or that use BETTER conductors for neutral, such as Audioquest's 3-conductor designs) sound best. Some of those are shielded, some not. Cable that uses its shield for neutral generally is lower cost and lower sound quality.
