Tape is the devil. I don’t give a coco squirt what ‘brand’ of tape.
Velcor is acceptable, but I feel guilty when the ‘silent velcro’ rips and ends up on the floor. I do like using velcor to attach the cable to the mic stand without doing that thing I see n00bs in live do where they wrap the cable around the mic stand a couple dozen times like they are trying to turn it into an electromagnetic.
Those bungie things with the (usually orange) nut are okay for multipair, I suppose.
Honestly, I wrap them correctly (so when you unwrap them you can toss the cable across the room and it will perfectly extend and makes you feel like you’ve weaponize it) and tie them off a simple taught but not tight knot on one the ends, XLR, 1/4, etc. This is not issueless, but seems to result in the least complications over time.
