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

Ahh, the sign of a true audiophile. 😊

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

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.
