Colourful cables - does this bug anyone else

[matengawhat]

for example if you just use one cable no major problem but for example i have 6 bright purple QED HDMI cables coming out the back of my Onkyo 876 how on earth do they expect you to hide them and not end up with the back of your system looking like a map of the london underground!!!

thats not to mention the mains lead, aerial cable, Wii cable, 5 speakers cables sub woofer cable, optical cables ect

anyone got any cable tidy advice

Ive never understood why they feel the need either.

Mind, you could just spend an afternoon with a permanent marker...

I don't know i think it's an improvement on black, i quite like purple.

It's effect on the sound that worries me. Black you'd expect to be neutral, but purple brash, lively, unbalanced.

Tarquinh the Disbeliever, does this mean that you think colour therapy has an impact on cable sound? Have you got any scientific evidence for this?

so what colour must i paint my room for the best sound?

Black paint behind and around the sides of the speakers as it is a little known fact that black absorbs sound while white reflects it, this will stop bass booming if you cannot move your speakers out from backwalls and corners far enough. The rest of the room depends on your music taste. Black for heavy metal. Pink for fluffy ballards, Blue for..... well blues & jazz. Gold for classical. Silver for Rock. Green for country (obviously!!). Red for pop. White for choral music.

Then with somewhat eclectic tastes in the house, a rainbow (colours not the band) room. Now should the stripes be vertical, horizontal, or diagonal. Perhaps if the musical tastes are well rounded, ellipsoid

Obviously a bit of a problem if you like more than one genre of music
