Any exp. w/ Shunyata Dark Field Cable Elevators

Grant, can you elaborate on why the conductive material is better than using an item intentionally made to remove the cable from the static field? I read your web page info but I would appreciate any further info you can offer here relating to why this product is better than others.

--Also, can you put a simple answer to this question? If I am currently using another elevator made of wood or ceramic or plastic and I replace them with DFEs... Will I hear an improvement in the sound of my set up?

Thank you and I will look forward to hearing your response!
Chris.

My only purpose here was to address ill informed comments about the price and manufacturing cost of our products based on what I know to be true. I don't want to get into product comparisons and tech descriptions related to our products in a commercial forum as that seems out of line with the purpose of the forum.

If you have specific product or technical questions for us, feel free to contact us directly and we'd be happy to answer your inquiry via phone or e-mail.

Regards,

Grant

Grant, I don't know what living the high life with Regis would be so I really cannot comment. Do I think that your company is actively out to rob people, of course not. Do I like your products, well Gemini speaker cables, Aries interconnects, Python and Tiapan VX powercords, Hydra 6, well I think I do. Do I think that sometimes we, ( the entire audiophile community) chase the Holy Grail, absolutely. Is there a benefit to these Dark Field Elevators, I don't know. I thought when I spent the extra for better cables I would get good clean energy to my system. It is a little disappointing to find out that my several thousand dollars worth of cables isn't enough and to get the real best out of my system I will need to spend more $$$. Will I need a Cable Elevator Isolator's at some point in the future to optomized my Elevator's?

I am sorry that I picked on your company, and I mean that sincerley. I think that Shunyata is one of the most researched, highest standard companies in the Audio Industry. I just get a little frustrated with the idea that I need to buy something new to really get the best out of my system and that no matter what I do, tomorrow I will need to do something more. So, with that being said, and with my foot planted firmly in my mouth, I will talk to my local shunyata dealer, order a full set of the Dark Field Elevators and put them in my system to try. I have been pleased with your companies products in the past and I perhaps should have thought of that prior to my snap reaction.

I would also like to know the idea behind using conductive foam. I currently Cable Elevators (ceramic), and yes, they DO make a difference.

Kenscollick, I realize you were just passing on informationf from someone else but that is how urban legends start. I can't imagine the objection to ceramic cable supports.

Glazed ceramic is fairly inert. That one reason it is useful for cups and plates etc. That is unless you get the Chinese-made. That gives a whole new meaning to leaded or unleaded coffee.
