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.

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.

Whoa! Hey, that's weird. Paul_graham isn't even on this thread. Cue Twilight Zone music.

There's no easy answer to that but one thing for sure lifting them off the floor may not be enough.... it might in effect be better to ensure that they are positioned at equi-distance between the ceiling and the floor.
randy-11  Your statement is quite strong. It presupposes that somehow all of us understand how to determine what "math" is required for this problem and then even more for us to successfully do the "math" that would provide the correct answer. I assume there are some who frequent this forum that have that ability including engineers, scientists, audio designers, etc. But, as a guess, I'd assume most of us in here don't have that skill set. For me, I know I'm not one of those who can do the math.

Now for the obvious question, No, I've never tried this tweak so I've no skin in the game.

Finally, for me, with tweaks, (and I've done few) I just try them and if they make a worthwhile change, I'm pleasantly surprised. Because, like you, better sound quality is my objective.
