Cloudwalker,
Am not qualified to answer such a broad assertion but have experienced, when ripping CDs in an external optical drive, how vibration created a large volume of extra calls to its power supply (for secondary laser-reading and verification) that degraded the sound quality of the output. The major source was the lack of circularity of unbeveled CDs and the effect was amplified by insufficient isolation of the unit from the underlying base and inadequate insulation of the drive itself from the controlling circuit boards and dampening of their chips. At the same time, of course, ripping rotation generated static electricity and a magnetic field which also affected the power going through the wires nearby in an effect which I believe is labeled as 'jitter'. Anyway I cannot envisage how any vibration that interferes with smooth power delivery can help sound quality. It must therefore surely be a good idea for unexposed, in-wall Romex (that has any use connected with audio) to be initially installed in such a way as to minimize vibration as you suggest. Please forgive me if, after spending twenty minutes testing your suggestion by wrapping some exposed Romex, I responded light-heartedly to an individual of good intent.
