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

Sometimes this forum makes my head explode, in 12 dimentions.

from what I read... it may or may not effect the sound quality...  it all depends on what cables you are using... first, carpet does produce static... for people who use unshielded cables would benefit from cable lifters ...  people who use shielded cables most likely don't need the lifters...

geo, it's like being a moth drawn to the street light....;)

Absolutely fascinating....but not in the way you might think....

I'm going to make some popcorn....see how long can this go on...*G*

I also agree that if one hears an improvement, who am I to interfere. However, what does incense me is charging $389 for 3 little blocks holding a rubber band: https://shunyata-uk.com/product/accessories/df-ss-cable-elevator/
That is simply predatory! They probably cost closer to $10 each to bring to market. The same goes for $100 fuses. I don't think you could spend $50 mass producing a fuse if you made the filament out of metal harvested from meteorites. Does someone who pays $2,000 for a pair of 1 meter ICs really think that the manufacturer is only asking for a fair profit based on his cost? Or that it's the biggest impact they can make for that amount? (Or if anyone deserves to be that self-indulgent while others are hungry.)  Equally guilty, if not more so, are the retailers who sell them to us, along with real, quality products. They serve to legitimize this standard of wastefulness and convince us that if we don't buy in, we are simply not advanced enough in the hobby.

Get anything you want for your system, just don't pay ridiculous prices and contribute to audiophile-inflation, please.

2channel8,
I just popped back to see where this silly thread has gone and think you might have the most insightful post of all.  High anxiety and OCD runs rampant in society, with sellers guilting folks into buying products of little or no utility.  It is nowhere worse than among audio-fools.  The "fuse-heads" have got the syndrome to a greater degree than most others.  I think for some folks, the propensity for self-delusion is rather unbridled.  At any rate, I like the way you think.
