Cable Elevators - What do you use?


In the search for cable elevators I have found a wide variety of opinions, not only on what constitutes a scientifically smart elevator, but also, those who think it is all snake oil.

I use inverted yogurt cups spray painted flat black for maximum WAF on the speaker cables - should I be using them on power cables as well?

What do you use, or . . . .why not?

Just for kicks, I bought 10 pieces of 2" thick acrylic, size 3x4 from www.CustomIsolation.net. I used them to lift ALL cables and cords 3" off the carpet thinking "okay? let's see what you got, and what the heck ppl 've been talking about?"
It sweeped me off the floor! I freezed up when I first heard the first music notes, they sounded much cleaner; VERY clean without harshness at all. I went back & forth to assure it was not my imagination.
My conclusion is yes, get them cables and cords off the floor using acrylic blocks do make sound CLEANER.It's a great tweek to reach for the high-end and the hi-fi sound. But fellas that like warmth, musicality, and romantic sounds must look-out, I suggest using softer material like wooden blocks or foams (may have small dielitric).
Puerto...I only use Great Value Yogurt cups (Walmart) as they are just as effective as Yoplait and give them my highest recommendation ;)
I'm not sure they make any difference or not, but since I elevated them, I do notice I don't run over my cables with the vacuum anymore.
I use Hifi Pyon Mythology cable elevators secifically for my full Synergistic Research Active Tesla interconects, speaker wire, power cords and S.R QLS 9 power strip. They raise everything up about 6-6.5 inches away from any static or interferences. Awesome looking too & great build quality..

One very inexpensive and effective elevator that hasn't been mentioned is a clay flower pot. Clay is a fairly good non conductor and thus does not conduct static electricity. These pots are heavy enough to stay in place, come in a variety of sizes and shapes, and can be left plain or easily painted to match your taste.

I place the pots upside down for maximum stability and use about 1 pot for every 2 feet. Since my cables are fairly stiff, they stay in place on the pots and there is no need to fasten them down. If necessary, you could tie them with a string around the cable and through the hole in the bottom of the pot to short piece of pencil or dowel.
