A ridiculously cheap cable riser.

Thanks for the info, but I'm gonna wait for the Mk2 Signature Reference version.

 How much for the cryode version?

Do they come in white? :-)

Change the make and model to Delizia Musicale Acensione Suprema, add another $5k for distributor markup and now we're talking Absolute Sound Editor's Choice territory.

@bdp24 Look like a very good idea, thanks for the information ;-)

Home run!

This has been posted before. This one looks like that millercarbon guys wire thing...

Try some egg crate anti static foam, cut into 2 peak by 2 peak squares and lay the cable between the peaks.

Often can be had for free.

Pipe insulation...3" cut "v" into top.Boom

well... lol.  that's all I'll say for this one.

Funny I’d bet 75% of the sound systems out there aren’t of the revealing value quality to notice the minuscule difference raising the cables off the floor will achieve. Sorry don’t waste your time, remember you have to lift all that crap every time you vacuum lol. Ask MC… he’s probably still cutting open vacuum cleaner bags trying to recover his little system gadgets. 
 

Cheers
 

Fishing lines from the ceiling allows for easy vacuuming underneath it. Only way to go.

@1971gto455ho: I wouldn't dream of arguing your points (lifting cables off the floor may be for those looking for the last 1% their system is capable of). I brought the High Chair to the attention of Audiogon members after seeing how close in structure the Chair is to the Shunyata DF-SS Cable Elevator, the price of which I also consider ridiculous (though in the opposite direction).

For the truly obsessed, in place of the rubber band use instead a strip of fo.Q (fok you? ;-) Damping Tape (another favorite of millercarbon).

So do you have a '71 GTO with an engine that puts out 455 horse power? I'm thinking about bolting a Whipple blower onto my Chevy small block. That engine is grossly under-powered (250 hp) for the Tahoe Ltd. it sits in. 

Tinker Toys $30 for 100 pieces

But do these "Grip-Rite" risers bend the space-time continuum to allow for the passage of electrons through the quantum tunneled wormhole created by the juxtaposition of the cable and the riser?  I think not.  You, sir, are a charlatan!

I have wood floors and built on a slab, I like the risers makes it easy to Swiffer my listening space. I have the cheap ass plastic risers from offshore. 

@jtcf Do they come in white? :-)

Yes, on Amazon. Also grey, green and red.

Tinker toys @ goodwill 2.99. twice!  Shhh. Happy listening 🎶

You employ rods?

Until you use the wires removed from the TOTL Siltech speaker cables to suspend all your cables, interconnects, etc, from Myrtle wood beams on your ceiling, you will never realize the full capability of your system. 

Thought I would share this with you all. At Axpona last month I paid attention to who used cable risers and if any seemed truly committed to them. 

The answer is- maybe 70% of the rooms use risers at all.

Of that 70%, none seemed to care that the cable did touch the floor

in places or another cable. I start to think these folks use them because they feel they "should". 

There was one room that had all the cables properly segregated and above grade.

Darned if I can recall who though!

@bdp24 ...sounds like a 'fun' car project, but my 'good luck' wish includes living in a locale with 'reasonable' fuel pricing....

Any 'emission tests' ought to be as 'negotiable' as the ones' a Triumph Spitfire I used to own...*G*

The shop we gave all our 'car issues' to found the only way it would pass was to lay the tailpipe sensor on the floor beneath the tail pipe...

Other than feeding it an occasional unbent pushrod (not a huge task for an afternoon, esp. with the 'hood' opened...one could sit on the front tyres...), a fun cheap ride...*S*

Good times...

Extremely silly.  Cheap plastic is never going to cut it.  Cable risers only work if made out of rare earth metals.  And the effect is better if you can get the cables more than a foot above the floor

@bdp24

I’m betting that the user name @1971gto455ho refers to a ‘71 goat with a high output big block v8 with a displacement of 455 cubic inches.

@rfnoise: Ah, I see what you mean: the ho is for high output not horsepower, the 455 the displacement. My small block is of course a 350, and that in a heavy SUV like the Tahoe is akin to using a 25 watt amplifier with a pair of Maggies. ;-)

I've read about an ancient meditation technique where you can levitate your cables by just putting your mind (and, spirit) to it.  We have a Dyson that just won't fit under those cable risers, even the really expensive ones.  I'm desperate.  

@bdp24

Installing a "power adder" to a SBC is a no brainer. The equivilant of adding an additional powered sub to your system, doubling your amplifier power, etc. In theory, if you add one atmosphere of boost (around 16psi), the increase in torque will be equivilant of doubling your cubic inches -- 700!!. This may be a bit impractical in that other "stuff" will need to be upgraded as well (including fuel), but it illustrates the power (literally) of power adders. Even 5 pounds of boost to a bone stock motor will help you get up a hill. Especially helpful if you’re towing something home, like a pair of Wilson Alexandrias on a flatbed trailer.

@bdp24 thanks for posting this! These could be great at supporting heavy power cords. 

2”x4” chopped into squares works great.

+1 for the 3/4 in pipe insulators. $7 did my whole system and they can also be used to create some separation between power/signal/cable/ethernet cables.

My wife was really impressed when I made mine out of toilet paper rolls! I was sent to the woodshop abruptly and told not to return unless I had replacements. Took me a week to build emm.

This thread is a hoot! I would never spend a lot of money on cable risers. But, a few years back, I was offered a bag of 10 trapezoid cut foam pieces for a few bucks. For that price, and the price of these rebar seats, I figured there’s no harm in trying them.

I reached out to Danny Ritchie of GR Research regarding DIY cable risers. I was told that as long as the material does not conduct static electricity, I should be OK. My cable risers are 2 x 2's 2 inches long. Not pretty, but functional.

@gillsysb: If you somehow get a static charge on the High Chair's (my first memory is of sitting in a high chair, watching my Mom iron in the kitchen. The ironing board was one of those that folds down out of the wall, hidden behind a small "door" when not in use. Lots of houses were built with those in the old days), just hit it with an anti-static gun (like the Zerostat, or better yet the Furutech DeStat III).

I started out with my SCs about 2" off the floor using some Ikea glass candle holders that go for about $0.49/each. Same for the power cords.

What I found was when I raised the SCs higher, the sound got better and anything above about half a foot didn’t make a difference anymore (I must have reached the offending limits of the synthetic carpet I’m stuck with).

Not having anything that could suspend the SCs that high, it occurred to me that my system is pretty close to the front wall so I ended up using some Command Wall Hooks that use double sided tape to suspend my SCs with.

If your SCs are thin enough to fit within the hook and you’re not obsessed with the looks, they work really well. That, and vacuuming is a breeze with nothing to lift out of the way.

All the best,
Nonoise
