Cable supports on the cheap...

I bought plastic rebar chairs for 20 cents each and hot glued them to 4" squares of wood.  I also bought steel rods from Amazon and bent them and poked them into the same squares.  For heavy cables you will want bigger squares.  But I've never heard a difference with mine or anybody else's cable lifters.   You can come up with reasons why they should work including vibration, static, capacitance etc. etc.. but I hear no difference with or without them

Thr cables should sit on a means of suspension like a rubber band or damping material like thick sealing foam tape.

A late friend with sensitive ears used the cardboard tubes from used-up toilet-paper rolls.

AudioQuest Fog Lifters are pretty inexpensive (8-$149) look kinda cool and seem to work pretty well.

On a budget?

• take a trip to a dollar store
• buy childrens alphabet bricks e.g. A, B, C, .....Z
• buy some craft sticks
• hot glue a piece of the craft stick to opposite sides to stop the cable sliding off the block
• if your cables are heavy/stiff, then glue the block onto a 2" or 3" ceramic backsplash tile to stop it tipping over

Nice thing about this solution, being wood they are non conductive and non capacitive - zero ipact on the signal

If desired, add the foam strip as mentioned above or use a rubber band across the two craft stick uprights to support the cables

I decided to try these because I have man-made fiber broadloom on the floor and figured this may impact the capacitive effect of the overall cable performance - lifting them off the broadloom mitigates that problem.

Since I was not conviced it would have an impact I opted for a very affordable solution. They are still there and seem to do the trick.

People are "amused" at yet another crazy (but very affordable) solution
