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.

Just did this experiment last week...lifting my speaker cables caused an audible dulling and reduced dynamics.  Back on floor!

My son, who is engineer, asked a producer of theese lifters, the benefits they would improve on the sound. When the guy discovered that my son was technically very prepaired he answered; "well at least they look very cool"

@pops @dave_b Think there is some correlation with slab type and environment.

I know it was an improvement in my system and cost me $25.00

@Fabre I am an engineer and it worked for me. Doubt the producer in question understood his product or theory. Not all engineers are right. 

Trial by fire people, if it work good if not don’t use them and send me back.

If you are going to do scientific survey’s this opinionated place is going put a lot of noise in your data.
