How is it a big scam if it cost nothing or next to nothing and there is an actual measurable difference?
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?

On positive feedback there is an article on bunking cable lifters, they actually measured a difference in capacitance with cable lifters in place. |
You didn't respond to the measurable difference. There is a measurable difference of lower capacitance when cable risers are used. I also don't convince myself that there is a positive difference just because I've spent money on something, in fact there have been times that I thought something way less expensive sounded better than the more expensive item. |
