Consider doing it differently. Like waves if possible. The coil approach with speaker cable creates inductance which you might be able to hear.
From way up at the top, I have a “Cartridge Enabler” coming to go with a dynavector 20x2L. Not super cheap, and I’m a little skeptical, but will find out for myself
Thanks for all the great and helpful contributions to the discussion everyone. I’ll add another one (though this is hardly news to the readers here): switching from Tidal to Qobuz for music streaming. Definitely a noticeable improvement, and cheaper too (at least for me). I guess this may not be perceived as a tweak, but it’s an inexpensive improvement nonetheless.
It fits into the spirit of the thread. 
Good idea. I have been losing sleep thinking about the detrimental affects of coiling my speaker cables. Back to Bed Bath and Beyond to pick up another 4 pack of wooden bed risers, which will allow me to do a wave instead of a coil.
This was indeed a brilliant idea @kitdog. I purchased the minimum order quantity (25) of these 5" rebar chairs from a local concrete supplier. The round 1/2" clip should perfectly fit around my power cords and speaker cables allowing me to distance them from line level signal cables. If they prove to do nothing, then I’ll just re-gift 'em to my favorite general contractor- LOL!
Good to hear! So many different heights, styles, and even colors. Even
if hey don’t make an audible difference, they make me sleep better at
night! LOL
16GA literally the best speaker cable I’ve ever heard in my system.
Literally, bettered 1K+/m cable I’ve had in there…Historically…don’t want to mess about, if its better it’s better and will spend the money.
Duelund is better.
Not sure if it has been mentioned. Kitchen cabinet grip/anti slip material. It makes very good decoupling and dampening material for us. It is very thin and do not stack it but don’t let it fool you. It can lower the noise floor about 20 decibels. It is of course $1 at the Dollar store. You get 1 foot by 6 yards.
Also of course Silly Putty has outstanding dampening properties.
The rubberized or foam liners?
I am not sure really, they are kind of like a rubberized-foam! They are yellow. They are pretty sticky. I have measured them to reduce the noise floor over 20db. They have thousands of tiny diamond shaped holes in them. At Dollar Tree. Walmart has them too, much easier to find but they are a whopping $4.
Can you share a link?
What do you mean by “noise floor” and how did you measure it?
I know of no link. I apologize. You can’t miss it at Walmart. It is yellow and full of holes.
Measured with a seismic meter calibrated for audio. You start with a known DB and see how much a given property reduces or increases it. To get the known DB you use a sound pressure meter.
You are trying to tell us that the grip liner reduces ambient noise in the room by 20 dB? What did you put the grip liner under?
I’m covering my whole room in this schizz…bet I can hear a fly fart
Measured by: SNRFF
Signal to Noice Ratio of Fly Fart…new reference
Sbooster power supply for my DAC and Turntable proved to be a relatively inexpensive tweak.
I would guess…removing 20 dB of noise from a normal room with normal components using grip liner is pretty much impossible.
If it did it wouldn’t be sold as shelf liner! It would be marked up 1000% and marketed in Stereophile for us crazy folk
