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.

i have been following this thread and finally pulled the trigger.

went to pier one and spent $30 on candle stick holders to elevate all my cables off the floor.this included speaker cables and power cables.

the difference was incredible. the highs which "hinted" at silkiness was now "incredibly" silky, please note this is a all solid state system.Imaging improved as well as micro dynamics.

it by far was the best $30 spent and highly reccomended.

hope that helps !!

Hi, which candle stick holders did you get? What are they made of?

Did you try anything else?

they were three legged and constructed of a metal alloy ( it looks like). actually bought them at world plus.

didnt try any thing else, the difference was staggering.

which ones did you use ?

hope that helps..

In my experience the Rite-Way Audio Suspenders clearly outperform all others, including other ceramics. Also use one and only one on all cables. This difference cannot be accomplished with any other change in your system.
I have used a very simple system that maybe you all can comment on for its efficacy. Those U-shaped nails from Home Depot that are used for wiring -just fit it over the cable and nail it to the baseboard about 8 inches off the ground.
Of course, your cables have to be small enough for that; mine are (AP Oval 8).
However, being that the nail is metal, of course, I am wondering if there is any undesirable effect. Re what I can hear, um, nothing different, but I did not audition closely.
