Cable management....crossing at right angles or

Good morning,

I have been out of the hobby for a while, and now just getting things back into my system.

No matter how I try, I can't keep my cables isolated from each other, especially speaker and power. Is there anything besides the old saying of trying to cross at right angles, something..copper tape/Faraday sheets that you can put on the cables when they cross to reduce-eliminate interference or distortion/ EMI RFI?

Thanks,

Randy

Unfortunately, same with me. I get the speaker cables out and on elevators… and generally I can separate the interconnect to my amp in front. But the audio racks have a rats nest.

I am sure it is in that category of tiny difference. But one you should avoid if you can. Tiny differences add up. But unless you have a huge room and lots of money (to buy extra lengths to allow crossing at right angles)… it will probably remain on one’s wish list.

Iv’e not heard of wraps or special tweats. But great question. One of the tweakers must have experimented. I look forward to hearing.

Ahh, the sign of a true audiophile. 😊

Well, I completely get it and now retired, I really love my system… so, probably a good thing.
