Cable elevators

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

Vibration definitely affects cables too. A properly designed elevator system will help the vibrations to go to mechanical earth ground. Unfortunately, about 99% of these elevator systems aren't properly designed, and apparently the designers think that just elevating the cable is what they are after. Some cables can also be affected by the effects of the carpet, and these under-designed elevators may be effective in some way for these kinds of cables.

I doubt elevators can help transfer cable vibration. What devices are you speaking of and why do you believe their performance meets this claim?
