Cable elevators



Ok,

Im kind of bewildered by this one.

I'll admit, it certainly adds a nice cosmetic aspect to a stereo.
Ive never seen these for sale in any High end audio places. What is the purpose of these?
Do they make a difference in sound quality?
Are they purely cosmetic?
Do they serve some other practical function unrelated to sound?

I do like how they make everything seem a little bit more organzied.

Diddnt think about the static in the carpet. I guess that it is more than possible.

Welp, if nothing more than for cosmetic reasons im probably gonna get some when i get a good rig running again, if i hear a good sonic improvement then all the better!

thanks! :)
I made my own. Go to Pier 1, and check out the different type of glass candle supports. I found some that perfectly support my H.T Pro-9 Bi-wire cables for $1.50 each- and they look cool.

Do they make a difference? Well, the later it is, and the more I drink, I think I start to hear something....:)
I think it depends on what type speaker cable you have, I have never heard any real improvement elevating speaker cables (even with other audiophiles present to listen) but
don't rule out that some other cable designs can be slightly improved.......easy matter to test on your own and draw your own conclusions.
I use them(more for looks) but spray my cables/carpet with anti-static spray and it lowers the noise floor even more..
The Transparent Cables must be more insulated because when I used Tara Labs, and Kimber cables the risers make an audible difference.
My tile floors aren't carpeted in the area where the speaker cables are. I tried elevating the cables and noticed a difference in sound A/B in different times and there is an improvement. How you do it has a bearing with what you hear in the several tests I've made. I'm not convinced it´s just an electrostatic issue, good 'ol vibration might have to do with this take a look at http://www.solid-tech.net/products/cradle.htm#
I have my own design combining different techniques and I'm happy with the results
