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.

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...
I tried snake oil once and it made a difference, a worthwhile upgrade .... 
They do make a difference in my system. But before I bought some I tried it out with styrofoam cups first to see if it was worth the cost. I then wondered why I didn't do it sooner. 
Still the first to crap on every cable thread that pops up Randy?

I'm pretty sure that your system is not resolving enough to show the performance improvements provided by using cable risers.

thanks Teo for your very relevant and informative post.  Read and learn please haters
