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

This simply proves that some of us should not be left out of the house.

I use cable elevators because I like the idea that the cables are off the carpet. Do they sound better? Maybe, maybe not, but they look good to me. My 2 cents...

Doesn't your computer have auto grammar checker?

I think it’s a good idea, and I have been using my own homemade ones for years. Take some PVC pipe, any gauge that fits your cables, and cut it into 4 inch sections. Now, slice those sections in half, and use PVC brush on cement to cement the top of each half circle back to back. They set instantly, and they look good, and are so stable on the floor.

Nice, similar to Enid Lumley’s (The Absolute Sound) cable tunnels, made using pine 2x4’s of appropriate lengths, two for the sides and one for the top. The cable or power cord is suspended from the top 2x4 via thread and eye hooks so it's hidden from view. The pine can be treated with anti static spray. I built Enid’s cable tunnels for my Quad 57 cables around 25 years ago. Time flies when you're having fun.

The only situation I can come up with where lifters Might make a difference...setting aside 'equal length cables' (which I'll subscribe to) of the same type (a no-brainer) is if you have a metal floor....

...which puts you on a boat or an aircraft (UFO?)...

Static charges from the rug?  Only if you walk around next to the cables constantly.  Vibration?  Do you live next to a busy interstate?  Like, under it?

Twilight Zone/Outer Limits stuff, IMHO....but have at it...

I think you'd be better off buying some nice bourbon...herbage...or, if you're an extremist, some LSD for a real 'change of pace'...;)

I'm reminded about the old saw about opinions, and it's relation to another body part and it's (granted) different function at one's 'south 40'...

i will go away now...
