Cable Elevators - What do you use?


In the search for cable elevators I have found a wide variety of opinions, not only on what constitutes a scientifically smart elevator, but also, those who think it is all snake oil.

I use inverted yogurt cups spray painted flat black for maximum WAF on the speaker cables - should I be using them on power cables as well?

What do you use, or . . . .why not?

"How does the effect on the field radiated out affect the signal still in the cable?" It could affect the signal still in the cable the same way a ferrite affects the flow of high frequencies through a cable. A transformer works by placing a coil of wire next to another conductor, which then presents a load to the conductor carrying the signal. I have not played with cable elevators, and can't speak first hand about their effectivity, but the idea doesn't seem totally impossible.
In my experience, Yogurt cupss are good, but I have found that Edy's ice cream containers work even better, especially if they are painted in day-glo orange. The best cable elevators that I have used are some old bowling pins that I was lucky enough to purchase from the estate of a recently deceased audiophile that was also a 200 average bowler.

Elizabeth, you can get the Llama hair from Napoloean Dynamite. He lives in Idaho. If you can't get a hold of him, check with his brother Kip (he's usually surfing the web for ladies, he may find you). The packing tape rolls you can probably score from Uncle Rico.

Cheers,
