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?

I use Hifi Pyon Mythology cable elevators secifically for my full Synergistic Research Active Tesla interconects, speaker wire, power cords and S.R QLS 9 power strip. They raise everything up about 6-6.5 inches away from any static or interferences. Awesome looking too & great build quality..

One very inexpensive and effective elevator that hasn't been mentioned is a clay flower pot. Clay is a fairly good non conductor and thus does not conduct static electricity. These pots are heavy enough to stay in place, come in a variety of sizes and shapes, and can be left plain or easily painted to match your taste.

I place the pots upside down for maximum stability and use about 1 pot for every 2 feet. Since my cables are fairly stiff, they stay in place on the pots and there is no need to fasten them down. If necessary, you could tie them with a string around the cable and through the hole in the bottom of the pot to short piece of pencil or dowel.
Is turning the flower pots over a metaphor suggesting that that the foundation for the argument of elevating cables is based on what might euphemistically be described as fertilizer?
Eureka! Brilliant discovery Unsound,

Good point about stiff cables Zargon. With Virtual Dynamics Revelation for instance no need for elevators at all, they just remain in free air if you bend them that way (Provided your gear has a few lbs to brag with and Binding Posts with a major B that is). Aware of Rick's firm set of beliefs, there may be a strong metaphor in that as well.

Schipo, placebo effect would work but.... when yo try the changes on an intermitant basis and LISTEN to the difference it produced, and could qualify it for oyur own subjectiveness as well as from an independant evaluator then FOR ME these were a good invetment for the change it made for my rig. Everything we try in the hobby is a matter of subjectiveness, what you hear I may not or what you like may not suit me also, but I respect your point of view for without it we wouldn't have changes that lead to better.
