I was tought from a young age that to properly wrap a mic/instrument/speaker cable is to follow it's natural tendency to coil and not to wrap it around your forearm. The reasoning behind this seems solid enough: by not wrapping it tightly around an arm and gently coiling it, one would avoid putting wear and tear on the innards of the cord. However, NONE of my musicial colleauges seems to know this.
How do you feel about cord wrapping? Do you 'Listen to the Cord' or do you 'Do the Arm Wrap'? Is there another way to coil/stow cords that I don't know about?
