"Best" cable elevators?

Any type of paper cups or wood product would be best as it doesn't conduct static electricity, PVC or other types of plastic will conduct static on it's surface. Have tried many cable lifts and found no diffrence in sound, I think a big waste of money, and they all look like crap, Spend money on better cables!
Just my two cents. Happy Listening

The dowel teepee seems to be in vogue right now. Very easy DIY project. Quick and simple, try some tall dixie cups. If you don't notice an improvement, you might not want to go any further. A lot will depend on what your cables are resting on. (carpet, floating wood, hard wood, tile etc....) If you do decide to go further, try any cup about 4-6 inches tall. Terra cotta clay pots work also. Material can be wood, clay, ceramic, porcelan, glass, they all will work. I had 2 speaker runs and a 25' balanced interconnect laying on carpet. I went to Home Depot and bought 25 terra cotta pots for $0.46 @. Did it make a difference, yes it did. A bit more air and extension, worth the small expence.

I use styrofoam 1 inch (minimun) cubes. Haven't read the other posts. Sorry if I'm being superfluous. peace, warren

I'm using chopsticks (left over from carry-out Chinese) lashed together with rubber bands. Not sure how much they're really contributing to the sound, but they do elicit comments from the civilians. ("What the hell are THOSE things supposed to do?")

Non-DIY recommendation: "Cable Elevators" from audionut.com -- work great, with a very clean look.

$160 for a set of 8. Use them myself.

You can use the side indentations for additional wires or power cords.
