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.

Geoffkait, no doubt you're right. There are, I'm sure, many solutions and ways to isolate to 2 hZ. A friend was given the Townshend isolation platform to put into his modest system (which I gave him). 
The Townshend improved his system a whole lot. And his CD player is sitting on top of 3 Nordost Bronze Sort Kones. All I can say is Townshend's platform is so far ahead of the Nordost Sort Kones that it's no contest. A much more "expansive" soundstage is the first effect heard,  And, again, voices sound purer, vastly more expressive. Not that the Stillpoints wren't doing this: they were.  The Townshend is just waaaaaaay better. I just ordered 4 of the cells so I can experiment under my line conditioner, CD player, line stage and amp...
No offence but the Townsend pods appear to be simply a variation of my steel springs which have been around almost as long as dirt. In fact my undamped Super Stiff Springs for heavy TT, amps and subwoofers most likely outperform since damping the springs spoils the sound a smidgen. Everything is relative.

Like others here have stated, thank you for your last few posts. It's so refreshing and uplifting to know your history and endeavors and that everything matters, despite the naysayers harangues.

All the best,

The Townshend Pods are not simply damped springs, they are much more sophisticated than that. Their design is explained and effectiveness demonstrated in the video Max posted on You Tube.
Sophisticated? Well, excuse me! They look like springs covered with rubber.
