No Wires..... Ever Wifey Dearest Audio Riddle


Much to my horror -- despite the persistance of my "exotic cable fetish" -- I seem to be buckling under the pressure of family life and thinking about -- gasp -- hiding all of my exotic wires.

Some of you may have read one of my earlier posts on a WAF friendly pedestal concept to hide multiple components in a pleasantly modern column.

It has occured to me however, that if entirely enclosed this might present some ventilation problems, or expose a tangle or wires behind the rack when opened up from behind to allow ventilation.

Therefore, does anyone know where I could buy perforated metal, like the type that is used to cover tube preamps? Maybe two sheets of that could sandwich a spaghetti tangle of wires yet still allow some air to flow.

Any other hide the wire ideas?

Have you considered using one of those paper mache Chinese dragons? Nobody would notice the wires.

Seriously, what's your configuration? If you have a rack, and the wires are behind it, a simple black cloth on the back of the rack would do the trick. Cut slits to pass the wires. For runs across a room, just keeping them neat against the wall can make a big difference. Another alternative is to use some PVC pipe and wrap appropriate, matching cloth around it. I don't think wire will need that much ventilation, but you can always drill a few holes in the pipe. Good luck.
Robert, that is hilarious. The free cd was a nice touch per earlier posts ;-) BTW, that could work. Hmmmm ...
