Default Where to buy fancy speaker cable sheilds/covers

Hello All

Where can you buy those fancy speaker and interconnect rubber/plastic covers that you can then heat to fit over the cables?

Could it possible that the materials ( RE: exotic fancy materials ) used in the cable pants could have an effect on the sound quality?

The only effect that pants have are that you won't get arrested for indecent exposure.

The biggest effect of fancy speaker wires (I REFUSE TO CALL THEM CABLES) is that they look nice.

I plan on doing this with the DIY speaker wires after reading the link.

Supplies for my set up cost me $150 for everything, so I'm excited to make them all
