C-Lock answer to a problem


Happy Thanksgiving to the community. I have a great Synergistic Blue HC PC I use with my integrated amp but, at 7' length to reach the outlet  (and the cord weight) I had to come up with a support system to keep it securely flush in the Oyaide socket. I did so as cost effective as possible with a cable elevator and a sand filled container (I needed 13.5" of elevation) it worked but, pretty unsightly. In the current issue of TAS was a C-Lock review from Block Audio which was very well received. Needless to say I ordered one have it installed  and it works just as advertised and securely anchors my PC as well as looks great! Plus I Caig cleaned my Shunyata Defender and with a 2 prong to 3 prong plug adapter have it all working in unison and incredibly the sound is even better now than it was. Now it is mail order only but, service was so fast it was here in less than a week and much less expensive than the alternative Furutech option I had explored!
A big thumbs up to Block audio for this idea and from me a highly recommended solution.

C-LOCK...what a great find.  Exactly as advertised: securely
supporting the power cord into the wall duplex while
substantially improving the sound, with no negatives.

Why not consider a product you might not have, or
address a new aspect of an audio system that has so
far been neglected? 

C-LOCK is amazing.  So simple and so effective.
Cable Elevators are really ceramic insulators designed for telephone poles. The little rubber pad on the bottom covers the threaded hole where they would normally be fastened to the pole. The pad pulls right off making it easy to stick a dowel or other piece of wood in there which when cut the right size will pretty much thread itself in on the coarse threads. Attach it to whatever base you want and its easy to make supports of any height. That's what I did. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367
But then this was all just sitting there in the shop waiting for me to do something with it. If you want to further improve your elevators try situating rubber bands so the cables are suspended and free to move. This is new so only one is shown in the last picture but everything is now suspended on rubber bands. The equivalent of springs under components. A very nice improvement.
