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?

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.

1. Could you please explain " what constitutes a scientifically smart elevator"?

2. Is you background in electric engineering?
