I saw on a website a product that you can wrap around speaker cables, interconnects, etc. to isolate them from one another. I believe it was some sort of rubbery foamy material and I can not seem to find this again. Has anyone seen this or knows what I am referring to? I am obsessed with getting these things organized and wonder if this will help. Thanks again :p

There is absolutely no reason to use this stuff for "isolating" interconnects or speaker wires - it just doesn't matter. The only thing you should do is to keep 120VAC power wires physically seperated from the other wires, but this can be done by simple spacing.

If you want to bundle wires together, use the split-loom type stuff that you can get from auto parts stores.

Thanks. I don't want to waste $$$$$$. What is split loom?

just a split piece of plastic you can put your wires in(parts xpress) very cheap!easier 4 u 2 look it up than xplain it!

I found some at the Auto parts store. I will try it out. Thanks.

should do fine.listen to sound hound,,,,he knows!!

Yes he does . This site is a wealth of info thanks to you guys.
I have also also been reading that speaker cables should not lie on the floor ( regardless of the surface). Is this true or more baloney?

mine are on the floor,but they do sell "cable elevators" there is a thread elsewhere in the forum.

While I'm very much in favor of making sure a system gets set up properly (isolating power cables from interconnects, using cables with reasonable build quality and shielding where appropriate, providing good ventilation for components, setting speaker delays and calibrating channel levels, calibrating TV using discs like Digital Video Essentials, etc), there are some products and concerns that I would classify as "nonsense" - and keeping speaker cables off the floor is one of those. What would contact with the floor actually do to the signal in the cable? Are we worried about friction against one side of the audio signal? Don't worry about that one...

It is amazing all the little tweaks and gimmicks that are out there. Everyone of them supported by such scientific 'facts' and reviews by a cast of thousands. Thanks Gonk. I had a feeling that one was a little out there but I needed you to bring me down to Earth. Always appreciated.
