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

Tony 1954, same situation here. Then when I get them somewhat tidy, I end up back in there replacing cables or components.

I remember the guy on here who used to swear by hanging wires off the floor with fishing lines tied to the ceiling. And I say that with a straight face. Best advantage out of that system is you can vacuum under the wires. Enjoy!

Doesn't matter. Parallel, perpendicular, etc, all the same.

I have insider information that this is how Bass Pro Shops got started.

The Mapleshade rooms at audio shows featured their cables suspended from the ceiling. Reminded me of a spider web…

They probably did this as their very thin cables were totally unsheilded, making cross-talk on touching cables almost inevitable. Frankly, I always found the sound in their rooms to be ear-splittingly bright, very unpleasant.
