Mapeshade cable lifts or any cable lifts?

Thanks for the tips Elizabeth. The Mapleshade triad lifts essentially look like 3 sticks tied together IMO.

Currently I used unfinished myrtlewood blocks from Battlerock studios to raise my speaker wires and some long run RCAs about 2 inches off my carpeted floor. They came free with the speaker plinths I ordered from Battlerock. I have not heard any difference either good of bad by elevating various cables with these blocks.

Before I got the blocks the way I tested cable risers was really budget. I took some extra CD cases opened them up and put them on the floor like a tent and rested my cables on them. There was no difference in sound in my sound system. Maybe if they raised the cables higher a difference in SQ would have been made?

I agree with you 100%...they look cool, and looking cool is part of the overall experience.

I have used this analogy...I love a good single malt Scotch. It taste better with a 20 year old blonde in my lap.

Yes, but very very little; the diff is extremely small. Still, give it a try using tips from Elizabeth, if the result is un-noticeable, go elsewhere. Perhalps, lift off Cdp and/or speakers using diff materials, instead.

When the cables are on the floor they are prone to the floor vibration in addition to other sources of vibration. Whether those cable risers will decrease it, unchange it or make it worse should depend a lot on those particular risers and their interaction with particular cables. Theoretically, the good ones should be able to improve the sound especially at high volume.

... will decrease it, unchange it or make it worse...at high volume.

Agreed.
