Duelund 12AWG speaker wire sheathing

I bought four 2 meter runs of Duelund Wire 12awg (DCA12GA)Tin Plated Hook-up Wire. I am using bare wire connections for the amp and speakers. I would like any recommendations on sheathing material/tubing to run them parallel so it looks cleaner. Any reason not to have them touching? Any recommendations on material to use? I would also look any impressions of those who have used Duelund 12AWG.

I have a question on the use of sheathing.  

Yes it looks better and offers protection and possibly some damping.  And for a commercial product it is obligatory.

Some feel that sheathing changes the sound and, depending on the composition, could attract static charges (or something like that - I really don't know).

W/o sheathing, the heat shrink at intervals could provide some damping and keep the twist a little tighter.  

Any thoughts?
