Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil


  •  I'm looking at some porcelain cable lifters to get some power and speaker cable up off the floor.  Does raising the cables off the floor really make a difference? It's going to be about 200 bucks for 10 of them. Thanks.

It makes a huge difference. Everyone who sees your setup can realize you are absolutely passionate about audio and anyone who has any science background will know you are just plain foolish about your hobby.

you can get pack of balloons $1..2, fill them with air partially using hand held pump and knot them around cable in several spots so you can place them on top of balloons. if you're creative enough with balloons, you can make 4 legs out of one balloon instead of 2.

it's going to make you an AIR BEARING SUSPENSION of wires for $2 not for $200.

not sure if it will make difference, but cables definitely will be elevated. while paying $200 is definite snake oil call, paying $2 washes the snake oil off and gives you room for cheap experiment. if you find this interesting and entertaining you can make money on your own snake oil selling same mentioned above CABLE AIR BEARING SUSPENTION or CABS tm.


Hi all and thanks for your responses. Teo, thank you for the extra and interesting thoughts. Not sure what I will do yet. The tidying up factor is at a minimum having me think about it. The lifters are on Music Direct.

Total isolation - lighter than air: get a bunch of helium filled birthday balloons. Float the cables! Yeah, baby!
