Bologna OR Baloney How does this work? Please fee

Hello everybody once again, with my questions :)

Well I am curious about the Cable Elevators and how they work!
I have been into high end audio for almost 20 years now and only started believing about Power Cords around 5 years ago, I tried it and realized they made a difference unlike before that, I laughed about it.

I am one of those who don’t get roped in easily but can anyone out there tell me ( their own experience) how this industrial grade porcelain works, I would like to get some feedback before trying some out my self, my options are to place some of my high grade china ware I have collecting dust in the dining room than to buy something for $150 or maybe even using blocks or bricks or wood.

They say:

Cables come in contact with a wide variety of flooring surfaces. Each can have a different effect on cable behavior. By elevating cables off the floor you eliminate static charge and you lower capacitance. The net effect is lower noise and increased dynamics. Another factor is the dampening of the natural modulation inherent to all cable. That is an electrical signal passing through a conductor (cabling) produces a desirable mechanical resonance that is dampened when placed on the floor. This also constricts dynamics and low-level detail. Placing cables in free space would be ideal.

Any input is appreciated

>>"It eliminates RFI/EMI that enters in the last 6 feet only though, right? What about what enters in the preceeding 20 miles?"<<

It is still there, just waiting...
Just like all the RF that is all around us, in the air.

Like the locks on your doors. The locks somewhat protect you from what's outside. The locks do not eliminate the threat outside.

Actually, Jea489 has a point. Some power cords scrape off a portion of the RF that travels within the electrical grid.

In which case, it’s as easy to understand as a household water filter that removes contaminants that the city purification system left behind.

Rapogee, if you believe in cable lifters, you can also make lifters from Lego pieces. You can choose your own colour and shape of the lifters. It is not expensive and it is fun to do. At last there is some audio gadget that is child safe. I know an even better option: let your children make them.

Just to add onto this,if the goal is to get the cables off the ground to a certain point, well I have so many ideas believe me, hooks? monkeys? ropes? kids? you know what I mean and so on, but why the industrial grade porcelain compared to 2x4 since there are options.

Thanks Chris
Anyway I am going to try as many technics as I can including Lego and The cable elevators too and see what this is all about. Believe me I was in Singapore some time back and a demonstration was going on for the The Mpingo Disc by Shun Mook, man for those using this,I cant understand....to me I believe its definately Baloney (logic and true) those guys did not know what they were doing anyway, all action and no results, all the listeners were looking at each other and some shook their heads looking positive, I believe some should have got their heads shaken. Crap meter was almost blowing up!
Anyway I should watch what I am saying but, anyway its interesting since what would really work fmr me is a good old fashion blind test!

Thanks and keep them comming!!!!
