Cable Elevators killed my bass

I purchased a set of 8 Cable Elevators locally on consignment recently for experimentations' sake and was shocked to hear how they seemingly sapped my speakers/system of a couple of hertz of bass output. I have stand-mounted monitors with limited bass so this effect was not subtle. However, every last vestige of grain, haze and artifice in the mid and upper frequencies was gone (and I mean GONE!) as well so this tweak seems to be a double-edged sword that I feel like falling on. Anyone else out there have a similar experience with disappearing bass?

This may be a bit off topic ,But instead of using cable elevators try this for a diy if u can. Pad the outside of your cables with Deflex Paneling by using tie wraps. This will take alot of time and some expense for the Deflex pads
but sonically I think u will be in for a very big surprise.Don C.
