Chip Where can i buy this poly foam tubing at.
 
Anastasio This is the foam tubing you put on copper pipes to insulate them. You can buy at any hardware store like Home Depot or Lowes. A great tweak! With the proliferation of muti-amp setups and multiple sources, keeping space between power/signal/speaker wires becomes problematic. Putting the foam tubing alleviates this problem. It can get real bulky, so just put it on the wires/cables that are running parallel to each other that you want to isolate. Otherwise try keeping power cables crossing at right angles to other wires.
