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?

Aw shucks, I was just being a jerk. While my system doesn't very easily lend itself to risers, I can easily imagine the benefits.
Absolutely nothing! I've got cones, spikes, blocks, and more under equipment. Sometimes there's a need for a line in the sand. I refuse to apply any cable elevators to my system. It is possible to get great sound without them.
I just built my own using balsa wood from any craft place. I made look like a t-pee. I saw some examples and just built them, they are in the process of drying and I will report back shortly. What cool is you can paint them any color you want or any finish for that matter. Maybe I will paint them different colors and see if some color effect sound better or worse than others.....
Well, haven't I heard it all now!! I respect the opinions of those that use them and those that don't - there is no such thing as the perfect system, if there was we would all have it - however, there are perfect systems in the ear of the beholder.

BTW, for you yogurt cup users - To maintain a consistent sound throughout the system I only use one flavor AND the ones I use are Lala Brand from Mexico. That's right kids, imported yogurt cups for that perfect tweak. It should be noted that they are painted flat black to mellow out the bass. Bright colors such as day-glo orange will cause the treble to get excessively bright and tends to lend a hint of Latina to all music selections.

Please do continue with your comments - I take the serious ones to heart and hope other readers are gaining insight as well. I have a good laugh over the remaining 80%. All are appreciated
As a follow-up to those that participated in this thread - Not only did I elevate the speaker cables and ICs as previously mentioned, I just elevated the power cords on the mono amps and put pipe insulation around the power cords for the APC and Processor since they are still on the floor. THEN, boy had I overlooked this, there is approximately 12 feet of excess SPDIF digital cable that runs under the floor from the iMac to the processor. That excess cable was coiled up under the computer desk and laying all over the surge protector. By installing three small cup hooks on the back of the computer desk I was able to wind the cable (very loose) around the hooks twice and up to the computer. Now it is off the floor, not coiled, and intersects power cords that hang down the back of the desk at sharp right angles. Now, for the first time ever in my tweaking endeavors have I noticed a distinct improvement in the sound - The music is much clearer than before. Oh, I should mention also, I eliminated the very short Toslink cable that ran from the back of the iMac to a Toslink/SPDIF converter and replaced it with a USB cable that goes to the same converter (also a USB/SPDIF converter). Maybe that was the big difference but whatever, elevating those cables, separating ICs and Speaker cables from cords, and the switch to USB has combined to make a big difference that I wouldn't have believed had I not heard it for myself.

Thanks for all of your input!
