Wrapping power cords and interconnects with copper foil.

@joelepo Agree on the physics of the Faraday cage, which is based on the repulsion between electrons forcing them to the outside of the cage, thereby isolating the inside from external electrical interference.  Mind you, nobody knows what an electron really is.  Richard Feynman, who came closer than most, notes that every electron interacts with every other electron in the universe.

Magnetism is something else again!

Consider this for power cables: the RFI may be injected by your component and is not necessarily from the mains supply or from the 'ether'.  I have a KEF subwoofer with a class D amplifier built in which totally destroyed my weak digital TV signals until I popped a couple of cheap ferrite chokes over the power cable, which had been acting as an antenna radiating RFI into the 'ether'.

We now know, thanks to the greatest failed physics experiment, that the 'ether' does not exist and as a consequence space-time is relative ... another story.

Unfortunately this is not a group about engineering or physics most people here seem to be interested in the hobby more than the engineering principles. Sad people who love listening to music so much have such low regard for the foundation of their hobby. 

@donavabdear Neville Shute (Norway) said that an engineer was somebody who could do for 10 bob what others could do for a quid.  In other words, provide very cost-effective solutions. 

Understanding some basic physics would save some hobbyists thousands, if not tens of thousands, in my opinion. 

I am not sure if you meant "Sad people" or "Sad, people ..." or even what you meant by "the foundation of their hobby".  Taking out the double negatives from "Unfortunately this is not a group about engineering" gives "Fortunately this is a group about engineering" but I suspect you meant the opposite!

Acoustics include psycho-acoustics and is not what is usually discussed in audio thread : room panels...And audio journey include also musical knowledge ...

Myself i lamented about how people experiment so little with the ground root of their hobby , not engineering, sorry but acoustics. not branded name of tubes or digital gear but the link between gear-speakers/room/brain-ears...

Most Engineers in all fields as the average men buy a piece of gear and called this audio if they had bought the best reviewed product; they are only divided between the value of measures versus  how they feel after listening ... This is what people called audio journey .... Not me and some others more enlightened one ...

Acoustics experiments is the core not only of audio experience but of the musical and sound understanding.

Where would you even get copper foil? Aluminum foil is common but not copper.
