Any exp. w/ Shunyata Dark Field Cable Elevators


Has anyone had any experience with the Shunyata Dark Field Cable Elevators? I am looking to purchase a set of cable elevators and I think these warrant some consideration. Only problem is that I can not find any person who has tried them! Any info and / or recommendations would be greatly apprecaited.

I really like them. One of the nicest upgrades I have done. Seemed to make the most difference on speaker cables, then on the long run of interconnects from preamp to power amp. I think what they did most was remove a layer of noise that I was not aware of, increasing detail top to bottom, expanded sound stage and increased depth. I am usually very skeptical and have removed many devices becuase they did not make a real difference. The dark field elevators are definelty here to stay.
Well, the truth is...I don't hear THAT much of a difference with them, but I only got the 4 pack, and not the 12 pack. I do hear some difference, mostly in clarity, but I'd have to wait a bit longer to be sure. Davt seems to have a clearer perspective. I'm still using the ceramic footers on one side.
2 weeks ago I got the 12 pack of the Shunyata Dark Field Cable Elevators. These cable risers really do remove a vail or two. The music is more clear and without haze and a little blacker background and even nicer separation of instruments. Also releaves some congestion. These are staying in my system for sure. I only add upgrades to my system if I can hear great benefits. I suggest everyone to demo some from The Cable Company.
Joeyboynj, I purchased the Dark Fields from Robert at the cable Co. as well....very nice indeed! Better seperation, lower noise floor, enhanced transparency, improved definition and overall moves my system closer to the real thing:O)
See my update under "Cable elevators-conventional wisdom wrong?" Further listening proved disturbing in that a dullness and lifelessness became evident on familiar material. A lack of sustain on instruments, dry high frequencies, reduced body and weight and an overall lack of transparency set in. I am sending my shunyata dark fields back asap. FYI, this result is not atypical of my experience with most all of the Shunyata products I have tried over the years. The "House Sound" seems to be dull, closed down and dry.
