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.

Funny thing is, I used a crown class d pro amp to good effect until a few months ago. Guess what? That system sounded better with vibration control on the rack, turntable, preamp and speakers. Pro audio gear can show improvements in performance when vibration control (and cabling) is well applied.
Pro audio in a performance venue setting shows these improvements less clearly or not at all often because of the high volume often used as well as the large spaces of many venues. Hopefully a noisy crowd too!
Abrew how deep does the trench need to be? I’d be a bit concerned about the foundation, wouldn’t you? Would definitely require a structural engineer to do the calculations and further analysis to determine pro/con. Sure would make for a great rabbit warren though.
foundation???

any audiophile will have drilled into solid granite for a foundation

Human brains are great, but our ears are terrible. Just look at how much money many of us have spent on getting the best sound from a sliver of diamond scratching across a record, not to mention interpreting a bunch of difital data that is smushed together to make an analog vibration. Many animal would probably laugh at our pathetic hearing if the understood this.

I have some very special rubber bands to hang the wires from the ceiling. All else is voodoo.
