I've read about an ancient meditation technique where you can levitate your cables by just putting your mind (and, spirit) to it. We have a Dyson that just won't fit under those cable risers, even the really expensive ones. I'm desperate.
A ridiculously cheap cable riser.
It’s made by Grip-Rite, who named it the "Individual Plastic High Chair". It’s intended use is to support the rebar rods employed in the laying of concrete, and can be found at Home Depot in bags of 20 for $5.08. That’s just slightly more than a quarter apiece!
To use simply slide your power, speaker, and/or interconnect cable through the two raised "arms" that form the open semi-circle you see in the pic (what you can’t see very well is the flat circular base of the Chair). Or, if you wanna get really nutty, loosely stretch a rubber band between the two arms, thereby creating a bridge across the open semi-circle, upon which will rest the cable, 2.5" above the floor.
Cute, ay? ;-)

Installing a "power adder" to a SBC is a no brainer. The equivilant of adding an additional powered sub to your system, doubling your amplifier power, etc. In theory, if you add one atmosphere of boost (around 16psi), the increase in torque will be equivilant of doubling your cubic inches -- 700!!. This may be a bit impractical in that other "stuff" will need to be upgraded as well (including fuel), but it illustrates the power (literally) of power adders. Even 5 pounds of boost to a bone stock motor will help you get up a hill. Especially helpful if you’re towing something home, like a pair of Wilson Alexandrias on a flatbed trailer. |
@bdp24 thanks for posting this! These could be great at supporting heavy power cords. |
