Is triple braided wire in most cases shielded good enough?


I'm replacing some unbalanced interconnects in my combo music/HT system, in the past have used some PBJs, but mainly diy cables w/commercial quad stuff, fully shielded. Thinking of building the triple braided silver kits w/ Bullets from Homegrown, or something similar.

A couple of the interconnect pairs will transition from consumer to pro equipment, so I need at least three conductors to make adapter cables. If I go with triple braided instead of fully shielded, how close can those cables get to the nasty stuff, like equipment using RF (cable converters, video modulators, etc)? Also will use the new cables to go between my HT receiver and to the HT bypass at the preamp.

Thanks for any help.
