Cable lifters.... Here is just one review of many out there. Also go to AA, Tweaks/DIY, forums many swear by cable lifters. http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/dedicated2/cabletower.html |
It depends a great deal on the materials covering the floor, what brand of cables, the amount of vibration (proximity) to speakers and if interconnect or speaker cables. I have had improvement with the ceramic cable elevators with Nordost cable but it actually harms the sound of Purist Dominus. I can only guess its due to the design of the two cables. This winds up like most things high end, the user should experiment and see if it helps their system. You can begin with crossed Popsicle sticks, Styrofoam cups or even small drink glasses from the pantry. If you get better sound then perhaps it's time to invest in a finished product that looks nicer. |
Albert, here's a really inexpensive and effective (they can't fall over!) cable lifter solution: Buy (as many as necessary) polypropylene foam children's pool noodle play floats in your choice of color (including grey if you look around). They come in 6 foot lengths, round or hexagonal cross-section (about 5" dia.) and most have a hole in the middle. Cut them into 4" sections and thread as many as necessary onto your speaker cable. Much more effective (and attractive IMO) than the porcelain insulators, which BTW are available for pennies at most used building or electrical supply yards. |
