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

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

Crossing at 90 degree angles is a good practice, but don't put anything around your cables, they will just cause interference where there was none before. And unless you're using lamp cord or metal hangers, you won't hear anything either. This place is full of snake oil, tread lightly.

I don't comment much but I would like throw out a suggestion that might have some value here.

The cardboard centers from toilet paper rolls or paper towel rolls can be used to slide over power cords and interconnect (too I suppose) as a cheap tweak that can easily be undone if you decide you don't like the effect or the wife is wondering if you've lost your sanity😁

Crossing at 90 degrees is, technically, the "right" angle.  That means that all others would be the "wrong" angle?
