no reason one shouldn't consider visual aesthetics in a HiFi setup
after all the entire thing is about aesthetics
but don't confuse it with SQ

Paul_graham, Now that's as reasonable an explanation as any. As long as the cost is sane, who's to say how one dresses up their acoustic achievement? You can look at it like window tinting on a car or a nice leather case for your camera. Both aren't needed but it's totally up to the individual. Finishing touches are a reward unto themselves. All the best, Nonoise |
FWIW my experience is that the vibration control effect is more important than the dielectric. I recently upgraded from Shunyata Dark Field Elevators V1 to V2. The latter have an elastic suspension. On my long (10 meter) interconnects the impact of the suspended lifters is noticeable. Greater clarity and ease, without them the system sounds slow and congested http://www.shunyata.com/index.php/products-vm/accessories/df-ss-detail personally I have never liked the heavy porcelain ones my alternative (which I use on the long runs providing power to my actively shielded cables) are the simple Doug Fir ones from Cardas. The Shunyata are expensive but you could come with a DIY alternative with a similar elastic suspension |
