I used to use cable elevators. I tried wood, glass, and finally carbon fiber. All to no avail, no nirvana. Then I found the answer - lawn gnomes! Space approx. 1' or so apart, they elevate the speaker cables migh higher and more securely than those flimsy cable elevators. And it's so convenient; you can get them at your neighborhood home repair center.
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?
