not sure should i ask this here... if wrong location, moderator please help me to move to the right place

the picture shows my DIY power filter (diagram)...?
now the problem is my family complains the power filter EXTREMELY UGLY, but i dun have art talent at all,
how should i design to make the power filter more beautiful?
the cable will connect to ceiling, theres a wire casing so i will connect the following cable to there,
currently temporary using cheap plug to listen to music (where the cable connected too, temporary)

maybe use heatshrink or anything else? please guide me  sweat.gif

Erm, just use multiple layer cupboard to re-organize all your stuff?
Or use a cupboard with swing door at the front, take off the back board so all the wires goes to the back, all should looks neat.

Can your filter put at the bottom instead at the top?
Or just buy a high cupboard (swing door or not up to you) that can cover up the "not so neat" part, hehehe.

shielding is to prevent signal interference. Actually there are shielding on certain higher end iem or headphones cables. For example, shure SE215 default cable already has shielding on it.

Mostly build on RCA and data cables because normally these cables are near to other high current electrical device that might give out some interference.

Hi, heres my plan, I plan to make 2 meter cable for my D2000k
The cable will solder into 6.35mm plug and another side to headphone with 4% silver solder cream
Because my tube amp output is 6.35mm so i don't want any adapter between them
user posted image

Any recommendations? Anything after 3mm sleeving will "stop" when the left/right cable split their way
I use thick anti vibration layer because this cable (silver plated teflon OCC) have stethoscope effect. I don't mind its thick or heavy
