2. cables
  3. 184478-2248

A ridiculously cheap cable riser.

It’s made by Grip-Rite, who named it the "Individual Plastic High Chair". It’s intended use is to support the rebar rods employed in the laying of concrete, and can be found at Home Depot in bags of 20 for $5.08. That’s just slightly more than a quarter apiece!

To use simply slide your power, speaker, and/or interconnect cable through the two raised "arms" that form the open semi-circle you see in the pic (what you can’t see very well is the flat circular base of the Chair). Or, if you wanna get really nutty, loosely stretch a rubber band between the two arms, thereby creating a bridge across the open semi-circle, upon which will rest the cable, 2.5" above the floor.

Cute, ay? ;-)

Funny I’d bet 75% of the sound systems out there aren’t of the revealing value quality to notice the minuscule difference raising the cables off the floor will achieve. Sorry don’t waste your time, remember you have to lift all that crap every time you vacuum lol. Ask MC… he’s probably still cutting open vacuum cleaner bags trying to recover his little system gadgets. 
 

Cheers

Fishing lines from the ceiling allows for easy vacuuming underneath it. Only way to go.

@1971gto455ho: I wouldn't dream of arguing your points (lifting cables off the floor may be for those looking for the last 1% their system is capable of). I brought the High Chair to the attention of Audiogon members after seeing how close in structure the Chair is to the Shunyata DF-SS Cable Elevator, the price of which I also consider ridiculous (though in the opposite direction).

For the truly obsessed, in place of the rubber band use instead a strip of fo.Q (fok you? ;-) Damping Tape (another favorite of millercarbon).

So do you have a '71 GTO with an engine that puts out 455 horse power? I'm thinking about bolting a Whipple blower onto my Chevy small block. That engine is grossly under-powered (250 hp) for the Tahoe Ltd. it sits in.
