@dolfan , Funny. I’ve been using them for years. The ones I have go up to 7’’.
Cable elevators
My Saturday hifi tweaking involved digging out the family’s box of wooden building blocks and using them to elevate my speaker cables off the floor. Previously under an area carpet on a wood floor. Mc 601s to SF Amati with Wireworld speaker cables (to be replaced with Cardas).
The result—mind you the system is playing really well right now thanks to my new Cardas interconnects—is greater clarity (I think), sound stage, and texture. This is definitely about wringing out the last ounce of the system and maybe I’m imagining the improvement. I don’t think I’d spend any money on buying risers, but what the hell why not use the old building block. Looks dopey and the family laughs at me, but dang does the system sound amazing.
Anyone else play with risers/elevators?

I was thinking about trying the Furutech NCF cable lifters primarily based upon Audio Bacon’s review |
A couple of weeks ago, before reading this thread, I decided to see what happens when I lift my speaker cables off the floor. I have a couple of guitar stands that I’m not using, and used one for each side. The difference was huge, and obvious. After going back-and-forth between the guitar stand and the floor, they won’t touch the floor anymore.I did try, and send back, the Cardas wooden blocks. They were just not stable enough for my cables. Until I find something that works, my guitar stands will hold my speaker cables off the floor. |
@denverhifi , how about Audioquest Foglifters? |
