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

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.

Ahh, the sign of a true audiophile. 😊

If you are using shielding, it's best to ground it.
