wouldn't you start getting induction at some point? might be an issue in some applications (e.g. hi-fi).

My parents had some clear plastic things resembling this back in the 70s (80s?). Don't know where the acquired them, but they were mass-produced. So I imagine you saw something like this, but homemade is certainly better.

good point. I'm only using these for things that I want to adjust on the fly such as latpop cables, headphones. Wrapping up unsheilded audio cables would need a different method, not sure what people use for that.

Looks like Smartwraps. I use one and it works nicely. I don't know about induction, but I might be concerned about cable fatigue if I did a lot of winding and unwinding.

Sorry for the multiple posts. I didn't realize these comments are reverse-chronological, and thought they hadn't gotten through.
