I guess some have never heard of Michael Faraday, and his works on electromagnetic induction? GEEZ- talk about BASIC! The magnetic field of a current carrying wire will always be perpendicular to it's length, so- YES, 45 degrees is better than parallel. BUT 90 degrees is better. The field's strength also follows the Inverse Square Law, so it only takes a few inches of separation to majorly lessen induced noise/interference(IF crossing at 90 degrees is not practical).
Tweaks
The latest issue of Absolute Sound has a list of 15 or so tweaks that they say are worth doing. I would like to get some feedback from others about 3 of them.
1. Grounding Caps for unused preamp inputs.
2. Equipment anti-vibration devices such as Vibropods.
3. Aligning interconnects and power cords so that they cross at right angles to each other. (This sounds like a very difficult thing to arrange).
