Any exp. w/ Shunyata Dark Field Cable Elevators

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.

Hello, I agree with Mr Grant, the DFE really work very well on my system I got 2 sets of 12 points and making it sound clean more musical and a little more air, my powercord are very heavy.
I think that signing out every time Shunyata a product to market makes science-based assessments and hearing from them.
Keep up the achievements, thanks for all

Just wanted to post my positive experiences with the Shunyata Dark Field Elevators (DFE). As like many others, at first I was quite skeptic that something that resembles styrofoam inserts used to pack materials for shipping can possibly improve audio performance. Well, I am glad that I took a chance and bought the DFEs.

Right out of the gate after putting the DFEs under my speaker wires, I easily noticed an improvement in clarity and focus. The background is a shade or two blacker and nuances are easier to discern. More of a cleaner sound, you can hear into the music much easier and follow along. More apparent on recordings with complex passages like when lots of instruments or vocals going on. The DFEs were able to separate the different notes and vocals cleanly thus letting you hear what's going on instead of a bunch of noise coming at you. I heard all this without ABing, because it was that apparent.

I have carpet in my audio room, perhaps the DFEs got rid of the static build up or what not. Whatever the reason may be I don't really know and I don't care. For such a low investment compared to many other things in the audio hobby, it's a keeper. The DFEs really work, not hype. Hope this helps others who were in the same boat as me when pondering about buying these or not.

Cheers!
