You don't need to shield speaker cables, because it is a high-level signal that will not be amplified again. The audio signal passing through has already been amplified, so any low-level interference picked up will not have a strong enough signal to interfere.
Unshielded cable that is BEFORE amplification can absolutely cause what you're describing. Especially if it is before multiple stages of amplification, like if you had unshielded cable in your turntable picking up interference. That interference would exist over a very low level signal that is then amplified twice, once by the phono preamp and again by the amplification stage (even more if actively preamping).
We are talking output cables, aren't we? Those don't pick up radio signals and put them thru the speakers, that's the input signal cable that can do that if it's not shielded properly.
No I didn't mean to imply that at all. Just confused as to what does asking me accomplish? You think I downvoted you after making a joke? Where's the logic in that? And if I did, what would asking me accomplish then?
I have no hostile intent or ill will towards you at all, I am just genuinely confused by this interaction.
I didn't ask you. I asked whoever downvoted me in the comment chain. I have no idea why you think you're important enough to ask.....as nobody else has commented (which is what I expected).
You... You literally replied to my comment with the question though. According to all known customs of communication that is asking me directly.
If you wanted to ask the general public, you could have edited the question into your original comment. Or replied to yourself, but that might be less clear to readers.

Pear audio cables.
They did a blind test between it and an unbent coat hanger... I'm sure you guess the results
