The finest Cable Elevators you ever auditioned?

Please share your listening experiences! I am especially interested in back to back comparisons. Perhaps you have gathered your audiophile friends around for a double blind shoot out? Would appreciate your guidance on how much of you budget should be devoted to cable elevators. Is there something out there under $1000 that really is a giant killer? Any truth in elevator directionality making a big difference?

"Is there something out there under $1000 that really is a giant killer? "

I'm guessing almost anything home made that works. If its elevated, its elevated I would think.

Practically, I'd first work to avoid EM interactions among cables by arranging them carefully to avoid long close parallel runs. I would expect that to effectively address any issues associated with wire location, relative or otherwise.

I do not see why elevating a wire in of itself is necessarily even a good thing. The thing to avoid is EM field interactions among wires and other electrical devices. Elevating alone just to elevate might help but could make things worse as well if not done properly. The best "elevator" to accomplish this would be anything best applied to this end. I would not expect there to be any benefit in paying a premium for some device to do this marketed to "audiophiles" unless perhaps there was some cosmetic or aesthetic advantage involved.

Actually I've recently discovered that some digested substances may increase audible frequency range. I'm planning to launch production of such vials that will be FDA approved and purchased with no RX. There are different formulas for different styles of music you're listening to.
Consult your doctor if you have alergies etc...
Price per weekly dosage vials =$$; monthly dosage etc... Morning, afternoon and evening formulas available. A special order is needed for night formula for night listeners. You can even match proper formula to the system components you have...
Just lovin that audiophile market LOL where sky is the limit!

I've just spent the last week being blow away by the not subtle, totally profound effects of what I consider to be the world's best cable elevator system. Unfortunately, the cable elevator system (CES) is a prototype and I cannot describe it in detail nor mention the manufacturer. Unlike other cable elevators the CES looks at the problem systemically and provides a holistic approach integrating both quantum and gravitational effects. I'm not sure what that means, but it sounds cool. The CES is powered and not surprisingly responds quite well to different power cords. The MSRP is not set, but I expect it will come in under $10k.

All I can say is that this cable elevator did things to my system that took my system's breath away. It is so transparent that when inserted in the system you cannot hear any effects from the CES, but when you take it out the system is unlistenable and I suddently realize what a collection of mismatched crap that I really have. Put it back in the system and it's like the most beautiful woman in the world and her twin system are beckoning me to their bed. It's that good!

I'll write a more formal review as the manufacturer gets closer to his release date and production is about to commence.
More to discover
