Hi. Would anyone like to weigh in on cable elevators, and whether or not they believe there is any audible difference with those speaker cables off the floor?
Amen walkelin!the differance from glasses to cable (ceramic)was not subtle for my system.corrected timber,bass definition,put more air of transperancy in soundstage.my system will never be without!
Save some money. Go to a Dollar Store, buy a package of clothes pins. Remove the springs and replace them with a rubber O ring. Place your wires between the top of the pins.
I agree with Walkelin, Digsmithd and others. Ceramic works best in my system.
The Mapleshade dowel/tripods were inexpensive but impractical for larger or heavier speaker cables. Others have used them effectively; I have to admit they were not easily setup here with my Shunyata powersnakes and AQ Volcano wire (could be user error...)
at $20/each, they are reasonable, look great and give a noticeable difference in sound buy getting my power and speaker cables off a rather nasty large dielectric (carpet)
Most folks think they make a difference on carpeted floors. I have pine floors, no carpet. Does anyone still think there is benefit to the cable elevators? Thanks
I don't have any knowledge in this area, perhaps others have good advice. Potentially though, if you don't use them and cables, powersnakes, etc....then are very close to each other, you could be impacted by EM field interference.
Using them as an elevation and separation mechanism might then be better than not.
