Cable droop

geof3210 posts08-17-2020 6:53pmI use hangers on the wall, or buy longer cables.

I really never though of hanging from the wall, kinda like a gun rack..
Gears are grinding now. Easier to clean, under and around. If mounted to a stud with isolators, we're talking looking real cool, maybe a led line light on the top/bottom rung..

@oldhvymec, my cables are behind my rack etc, so really aren’t seen. However, hanging them creatively would be very cool if visible. Works great for me.

Hate it when the cables droop, but we’re all getting older, I guess...

Power amps are usually placed at the bottom of the equipment rack.
Floor standing speakers, have their binding post at the bottom.
What droop?
If you have such a problem, on the Amp side, you may place a plate (Aluminum or wood), drill a hole at the edge (Prominent from back adje) 
and connect a short rope around the cable and that hole.
I use #0 AWG cables and they are ok.
A 3 m long #0 AWG weights 1.85 kg. and on each channel there are two.
The cable is flexible and the partial weight is not an issue.

For years I have used “cable stackers”, dirt cheap from your local electrical supplier. These are easily suspended with monofilament fishing leader (doesn’t stretch to the degree of regular mono) from the wall, rack or anything available. Also particularly useful if cables are run underneath floor joists and suspended with mono.
The short ends of the stackers can be heated with a heat gun and self glued together to form a descent cable riser. They are available in black, red, and white. Also low dielectric.
