Lead shielding


I have made myself a cable tidy which effectively boxes my loudspeaker cables from my 2 aerial cables, and a phono lead from my TV to my amp. The makeup of my room makes this unavoidable.

I designed it with a view to shielding the TV based cables and running a grounding wire to a rod in the garden. I considered the following:
1. run the cables via copper pipes - grounding the said pipe
2. line the respective 'box'/'run' with lead - ground that.

I thought about lead because I saw a roll in my workshop, and understood it to be an effecive shield

Joking aside. My amp has a wall socket next to it. Under the wall socket is both my TV aerial, and satellite aerial. my tv is placed between my speakers. My speakers run parallel to the the aerial leads, as well as the tv - to amp phono lead. The shape of my room makes this unavoidable.

I am convinced that this is a recipe for RFI problems entering my audio chain.
