Is shielding necessary on interconnects & speaker cables


I have a tube cd player and a intergrated tube amp. I am getting ready to buy speaker cables and interconnects. Do I need to buy shielded or unshielded cables. What are the pros and cons of each type.  Is there sonically any differences. I am leaning towards unshielded. Thanks

its best to not use shielding...closes in the sound.  If you need it, you need it.
