Cable elevators


My Saturday hifi tweaking involved digging out the family’s box of wooden building blocks and using them to elevate my speaker cables off the floor. Previously under an area carpet on a wood floor. Mc 601s to SF Amati with Wireworld speaker cables (to be replaced with Cardas). 
 

The result—mind you the system is playing really well right now thanks to my new Cardas interconnects—is greater clarity (I think), sound stage, and texture. This is definitely about wringing out the last ounce of the system and maybe I’m imagining the improvement. I don’t think I’d spend any money on buying risers, but what the hell why not use the old building block. Looks dopey and the family laughs at me, but dang does the system sound amazing.

Anyone else play with risers/elevators?

"you hear a difference or you don't"....yes its that simple.Be confident that your percieved difference is nelegable enough for your ears to use them...you dont need validation here...setem and forgetem.

Ha.. my wife bemoaned me trying them...Mind you the first shot at it i used dollar store tumblrs that i had enough to cover cables.All the while she was making dinner peeing and moaning "blah blah"....Grabbed a beer and played first disk.She couldnt believe it made that much difference.She was quiet the rest of night 😉
