Cable management help

Hey that does look pretty nice. You should do a shootout with someone who swears by their expensive "cable lifters" :D

I, too,would imagine that you wouldn't want to wrap up the power cords with the ICs, etc. I'm looking forward to cleaning up my cable mess - I'll be getting a new rack to accomodate my new turntable so this thread was quite timely for me!

Thanks again for the link, Dave.

I am glad that link helped.

Unless your PCs are shielded, it would probably be a good idea to keep them away from any signal wires. That's my guess anyway. I am far from an expert.

Thanks for the tip. I am going to go with the Flexo too. I would keep the power cables in a seperate wrap from audio cables though.

Hmmm - no one seems to have an opinion about whether or not bundling cables together could lead to some negative sonic effects. And I thought everyone in the cable forum was opinionated! (j/k) Well, I took the leap and have ordered some of the Flexo Wrap; guess I'll find out for myself whether it does anything to the audio.

Abrahavt - did you decide on what to do about your cables?

Dave - I really like the idea of using the FlexoWraps - thanks for the link!

Like Abrahavt, I would love to neaten up my "rat's nests" of cables, but, like you, I am also wondering about what, if any, effect it would have on the audio/sonics to bundle the cables together, especially the power cables with speaker cables, etc.. I hope some of the knowledgeable folks here will respond to this concern.

Go to this page at Parts Express:

And you should find some techflex sleeving (is that a word?)that has a Velcro enclosure.

My question is: Is there any negative effects from bundling your cables together. I ask this sincerely...I don't know.

You may find some products/ideas that will be suitable. cableorganizer.com is a pleasure to deal with as well.

With the size of some power cords--??-- and how many of these cords are we talking about??-----In my case it would take a 5 inch hunk of pvc to hold them. Maybe strips of velcro that you attach at different points??---Maybe with a simple 2ch system such as a 1box player and an intergrated---things could be kept tidy.----However I say the WAF should be important. Try to please;it yeilds its own reward.

Hi, you might try using a plastic shower curtain rod cover.
They are large enough to accept a few cables,come in colors, and have a slit which stays closed after inserting your cords. Easily cut to length.Only drawback is the do not bend..I suppose you could try using a hair dryer to heat them up and then bend them.I use them to hide my speaker wires.
hope this helps.
