Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference?

In fact, go one step further.  Enclose all your cables in a vacuum pack.  The air around them causes the signal to deteriorate 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000001%.  This is a HUGE degradation by audiophools standards.

Fellow audiophiles, if you have crummy synthetic carpet, like I do, this is a no-brainer. Around this time of year I shock the hell out of my finger touching anything metallic so I can only imagine what my cables are subjected to.

CD after CD have the clearest and cleanest presentation.

Ever.

I ordered some of those Ikea tea light holders from Ikea and am getting 12 for $11 and change, delivered. With the extra holders, I’m going to elevate my power cables as well. What the hell: I’ll see if even that has a positive effect. If not, it’ll sure look nicer.

This has got to be the cheapest tweaks I’ve encountered in quite a while. I now have no desire to get a power conditioner, like the Niagara 1200 or the Puritan PM-156. Now that’s some money saved. Maybe I’ll buy a decent dress watch with the savings, like a Stowa Antea or something like it.

All the best,
Nonoise

High end cable raisers?

We must think alike, I did the same thing, next step is to use Foster's 25oz cans, I know I know a bit more expensive but it really ups the game!

I like your style - I went to the Dollar Store and bought a couple of sets of children’s wooden Alphabet blocks - $6 for two sets of 15 blocks.
- I stuck some craft sticks on the sides to stop the cables sliding off - an additional $3
- And a 2" tile from a bathroom project as the base - just to stabilize them
- worked like a charm

I didn’t know if it would do anything positive but as it turns out
- one of my cheapest tweaks to date - that worked :-)
