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.

Fascinating discussions. Thanks for the comments by @tgun5  and @gbmcleod  and all others who have used them. 
I have changed my opinion on cable lifters.  You need to lift them about 5" off the floor.









































not for SQ - I just bought a vacuum robot and it needs that clearance
Great recommendation for those looking for a super low cost option for risers. PaperSource (and no doubt other crafty type stores) have on sale card 3D letters about 12" tall. The M is ideal as a cable riser. It can be drilled and part filled with shot for added stability and being card it's easy to fit elastic for an extra boost. In my opinion card sounds better than wood or ceramic as well. I'm scooping up all the ones I can find as they're ideal for some of my loose floppy cables
You can use the R's as well threading through the gap. I bought a couple of these today and they are quite stable
