Thanks for advice. I'm routing my surround wires away from power cords as much as possible, but there are inevitable crossing points, and a few sections where the wall routing will be within inches (unavoidable in my case). Now to find the difference in price between the unshielded and shielded versions. At $.40/ft, Bluejeans has good price on the unshielded - would anybody know where to get a good price on the shielded equivalent? Also, I've read (I think on Axiom forums) that the use of garden hose as shielding might work for in-wall runs next to power cord. Can anyone confirm, and I'm assuming this would be a metal-braided form of hose?
