How, or what is the best way to deal with power cords, rca's hdmi cables etc etc
mine are all loose behind my setup, most are touching, do I separate cables by what they are, wrap power cords together, separated from all others. How is this done?
I would also hasten to add that no cables should be in contact with the floor or carpet. It is best if you have ceramic isolators holding them off the floor. Metal and even wood are insufficient.
Were you to see my setup, you would think you have no problem, but I have no cables touching the floor and have them crossing at sharp angles,
Arctikdeth, It is not a waste of time and money if you value the improvements you get. I built a Live End/Dead End room once. That was a major waste of time and money for me.
I try to run cables so they at least are not tangled around each other. this is much harder to do since cables have become so thick and inflexible that just keeping them from pulling and pushing on the components in the rack is a real challenge. If i were building interconnects (and even power cords) i would try to put them on "a diet" while maintaining good insulation from the environment. Oh and one of the WORST scenarios are the twist-lock RCA cables that are so difficult to put on and remove due to the lack of space for your fingers between input receptacles on many components, especially preamps.
