Cable Elevators - What do you use?

"Serves no real purpose" errr, you must have missed my post about the dust bunnies.

Elizabeth. You are so misstaken. I only use cable elevators made from baby seal skin, handclubbed in Labrador. It makes the sound so much more lifelike.

Sick and sicker!!!

On youtube, Cardas has a few videos on everything from shielding to construction to forged spades.

Anyway, I found the video on "Current thru a cable" very interesting. If a lantern battery can cause those two wires to vibrate, then imagine what AC current thru a power cord can do to a nearby IC or speaker cable or even another PC.

What that video puts into perspective, to me, is that interaction between cables is very real. Enough to utilize cable elevators? Not sure, but enough to make me wonder about them.

Also, check out the videos on shielding. Even as the cables approach the table, you see there is interaction with it's surroundings. Again, enough to require cable elevators?

I believe Paul over at PS Audio sums it up best with his latest newsletter which I just recv'd...take care of the major tweaks first, matching gear, cabling, room conditioning and then smaller tweaks. He is using t-connectors from local Home Depot...go figure. With those savings I could buy one of his awesome products.
