Mapeshade cable lifts or any cable lifts?


Do the cable lifts under speaker wire actually help improve the sound? My cables are wide ribbon Verbatim Cables. Thanks...Edward

Great idea. After you are done with that put your sub on your head and determine the quantum sugnature of your vibrating..toe.
Don't take vibrations too lightly. Take a look inside your speakers. Chances are the wires are held in place with cable ties. Look inside your electronics. The caps and some other components usually get potted or strapped tightly to avoid what? Vibrations. You can hear this.

And for you vinyl folks. What does it sound like when you drag a cartridge lead on the surface of an LP? You can hear this plainly. It is vibration.
Dan - you made me shudder with the cartridge example!!!

You make a good point.
I don't use cable lifts but I have experimented with other cable treatment methods. Here's a cheap easy tweek to try. Fill four sealable sandwich bags with sand. Place one under and one over the speaker cable at the nearest point to the speaker where the cable rests on the floor and see if you hear a difference.
That's a good idea, Rhljazz. A good experiment might be to try the sand bags against the elevators Jfeldt found to work best. Maybe that would tell us something?
