    You could also pick up some velcro straps from Home Depot.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    My wires never did anything bad to me so I leave them alone, its a Reel symbiatic relationship.

    The power wires however dont like the other ones, so they have seperatee status.

    You could unplug everything and start over, but it's only a temporary fix because when you're asleep they get all tangled up again. :(

    My equipment sig felt inadequate and deleted itself.

    At many retail electronic stores they sale cable tray that attaches to the wall via screws or two sided tape. It clips together and can be ran along the baseboard or up the backside of your entertainment center.
