I have seen Pierre from Mapleshade twist interconnects around and improve the sound. He maintains that there is only one correct orientation for each cable. However, I have never done this myself, I change my connections too often. But keeping the interconnects and speaker wires separated as much as possible is usually beneficial. I also am a believer in the long interconnects, short wires approach and usually use it, however it is not possible with my current Musical Fidelity M3, which is an integrated. The long speaker wire can be good, I am using Cardas Golden Reference, which is too expensive to bi wire with. It is usually cheaper , in my experience, to use the long cable approach.
do you need to elevate interconnects?
Many audiophiles and dealers recommend elevating speaker cable off of the floor or carpet for optimal sound.
Is the same true for longer interconnects runs? Will running an interconnect along the floor tend to injure sound quality?
On a related note, is it a mistake to run interconnects under the carpet or along base boards/trim?
Your thoughts most appreciated.
