Any exp. w/ Shunyata Dark Field Cable Elevators


Has anyone had any experience with the Shunyata Dark Field Cable Elevators? I am looking to purchase a set of cable elevators and I think these warrant some consideration. Only problem is that I can not find any person who has tried them! Any info and / or recommendations would be greatly apprecaited.

I must first apologize to Grant and the people of Shunyata, I am the bad guy. I usually don't make posts like I did initially but, My god $250 for twelve pieces of foam. Well, I did feel bad and ordered a set. My dealer would take them back if I didn't want to keep them, which I was sure would be the case. Well I was wrong. They are made of a foam that is quiet unlike what I assumed that they were. (What did someone once say about "Assume"). But they really were a nice upgrade. I will post a review as soon as I get back from a sudden trip but I will say this, I ordered a second set to complete all my cables. I think that they are a very reasonable upgrade to a system, improvements in clarity that exceed other upgrades I've made such as Stillpoints. But more later, I will post the details of my audition and experience when I get back. But again, my apologies to the folks at Shunyata, you created a fine product.

David,

were you using other cable elevators prior to the DFEs? I've got polycrystal coated ceramic isolators and I've been looking at the DFE's with interest!
Adhaney, I have not used any other cable elevators or isolators with my current system. I did try some Music Direct ceramic with an older system in a very noisy building and noticed no benefit or musical loss but it was not a very fair trial.
Well I picked some up and they work very nicely. The sonic improvements where very noticable. I use Transparent UltraMM bi-wire and didn't really think they would do much more then ease my cable "mess" behind the rack but I was pleasently surprised.
I received my set today, but will need to wait a while for the CD player to complete its own break in before I can comment on the component.
One thing though: "quiet" will be most noticeable if you have a component whose noise floor is higher than the component lowering that floor. It may take longer to determine the benefits in one's system if other colorations, such as the room, are not attended to. It will be hard to hear more depth if you have a 125 Hz bass lift rolling around your room.
I haven't noticed the improvement yet, but as I said, I just found them on my back porch 10 minutes ago (UPS doesn't bother to leave notices any more). I will also be interested in "seeing" (aurally speaking) the difference between them and the ceramic cable lifts I have!
What a wonderful hobby we live in....if it doesn't make us neurotic, that is...
