Cable Elevators - What do you use?

I have some Mapleshade which are basically 3 cylindrical pieces of wood and a wood ring that looks somewhat reminiscent of a napkin ring that fit together in the manner of a tepee with the cable on top. Not outstandingly stable so I just artistically drape my Golden Reference over the equipment racks so they don't touch the floor. My tweak license was suspended for life years ago so don't bother turning me in.

Interesting comments all - First, different flavors of yogurt do not seem to make any difference. Elizabeth's comments are poignant and, I believe, statements of fact. How all that affects a system is the question.

Thank you to those that shared how they approached cable elevation. What I did not ask specifically is - are you elevating only the speaker cables? ICs? Power Cords? all or some? The only things left on my floor are the power cords to the monos and APC. Both monos and the APC are connected to their own individual dedicated 20 amp circuits. The pre/pro, DVD machines, TV and semi-silent silent fan are all plugged into the back of the APC.

I started this quest for information because I cannot get rid of an intermittent hum in the right channel. The system will play flawlessly for several days and then suddenly break into an unwanted hum. Among a dozen other things, elevated the cables was something I had not yet tried.

So far, still no luck but it does look a lot cleaner behind the system!

Your comments are interesting, humorous (in some cases) and helpful. I appreciate all of them.

If I post that the sky is usually blue because of water molecules in the air and you ask me to prove it.. Where are we?

That's just my point. That statement above can and is scientifically proven.But raising your speaker cables doesn't have an ear shot. Electromagnetic fields can interact with the environment and attack your cables. I thought all those high end cables going for thousands were protected from all those electromagnetic fields nasties.

If the electomagnetic field is radiating outward from the cable and it is interacting with objects not associated with the audio system -what difference could it make to the unaltered signal that is still carried in the cable unless it is reinjected back into the cable in some way?

How would the altered signal get back into the cable?
