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?

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.
Otis. Stops at every floor I press.

Have tried them in both main and BR systems and never heard them make a whit of difference. Maybe the type of carpet of flooring one had makes a difference.

At the beginning of these posts I said that it doesn't make a difference....however....   I just tried the 1 1/2 in sections of toilet tissue under the speaker cables and actually do hear a difference.  The instruments are separated and not blurred (like wrong glasses prescription).   I'll go back and try it again, but as of now I'm a believer.   I noticed most high end cable has elaborate covering...mine is just 2 thin silver cables very lightly braided for each leg...that may be the difference.
