Synergistic Research Cable Risers?

Geoffkait, would you like to borrow my scroll saw. It's a Hegner Polymax.
You can rent one of my daughters. They love making stuff on that thing.
Please don't? Don't what? What else is a Debbie Downer to do? Catch 22. 

Back to cable risers ...

This is what I use:

Devout tweaker that I am, I’ve even tweaked the cable risers. I’ve taken PPT Alpha-Cards and bent them into a shape to fit into the slots, then placed the speaker cables into the slots on top of the Alpha-Cards. Then, each riser has an original PPT Omega Mat sitting on top of it with the cables underneath. The mats sit length-wise in order to affect as much of the cable as possible. I got a nice improvement in SQ from that little exercise.

I tell ya!
A pair of $1 ceramic cones make great cable risers as well as points under equipment.
Think I have 40 of em total from Fleabay.

Quite possible the SR products work but I will put my saved shekels towards more records thank you very much!

what might be more helpful is a discussion of how and why it might work and some possible reasons. I think IF you are using a highly ( a relative term ) capacitive cable with poor dialectric, risers might be a waste. Of course the Uber or BDP suggestions are low cost. IF your room floor is carpet then insulating risers may help. Not so much on hardwood ( the real thing ) or natural stone / slate. i have a bunch of Myrtlewood blocks cut in the “ word salad “ golden ratio...those are cheap and easy to make on my Delta Unisaw but with a German fence....... no daughters for rent

Uber: i am holding out for a shipping damaged Green Egg, the bits should have few if any parallel surfaces.....
