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

I personally believe there are certainly more important things to focus on to realize system improvements than 100.00 fuses and keeping cables off the ground. I have witnessed some philes directing too much attention on factors that realize less benefit than other  tweaks that IMO would be more beneficial. Room treatments, speaker placement vibration isolation would be among them. In my experience, at the recommendation of my dealer as recommended emphatically by the speaker cable, ic manufacturer a physicist BTW for whatever it's worth, just do it says he. I did and clearly noted greater clarity it wasn't a leap of faith to hear this . Quite simple, out of wood to match my equipment rack. Didn't cost me anything but time.  Enjoyed your comments teoaudio. 

@tubegroover right on. There is no doubt that tweaks like this come in after room treatment, speaker placement, isolation/coupling.. in fact, I'd wager that, if you haven't sorted those issues, you'll probably not even be able to notice differences created by tweaks.

Nobody said do the cable lifters before room treatments or isolation or anything else. The devils in the details. A lot of seemingly preposterous or insignificant tweaks add up to a big deal. It all comes down to where youngest off and what you’re trying to accomplish. I realize a lot of folks here are satisfied with where they are and have taken a break from the action. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Obviously cable lifter, like fuses and such are for audiophiles who wish to go behind the usual ho hum. By as far as cable lifters being controversial, I beg to differ. They're not. If anyone things cable lifters are controversial just wait till something that's really controversial comes along. (Oh, it's coming!) Then you'll be begging for mercy.

If your family is into collectable figurines, just borrow some and put them to good use. You can always rationalize it by saying they're serving a higher purpose and that it saves money.

All the best,

How about little statues of Hercules or Atlas? Or little statues of a javelin thrower and remove the javelins? Statues of Liberty?
