What colour are your speaker cables?

If you biwired with the transparent cable and the black one it would be the Hifi lover's ultimate dream: transparency and inky blackness united as one in sonic harmony. 

WHAAAAT!  You mean it's NOT serious?

(P.S. I've always considered humour to be a very serious matter.)

Hi FT,

You should try plumber's foam pipe insulation as it works well. It's a very light weight close cell foam and can be cut easily into discs. It's also as cheap as chips.

Here's an old photo from when I first used it.

I'll bring some with me when we meet up.

sorry but I've never got all this cable dressing tosh...

I never saw musicians carefully doing anything with cables at the Hacienda Hammersmith Odeon etc they were set out as needed and often looked like a mess of black spagetti,often stuck to the floor with gaffa tape

As a musician I'm always very careful about my signal cables. I pay particular attention to keeping unbalanced signal cables way away from power supply ones (even low DC voltage used for powering effects, can wreck havoc with a signal). Huge benefit came from using digital wireless transmitters - a galvanic connection between a guitar and the rest of the rig was removed, thus causing the entire rig to be much quieter.
