Cable Elevators - What do you use?

In the search for cable elevators I have found a wide variety of opinions, not only on what constitutes a scientifically smart elevator, but also, those who think it is all snake oil.

I use inverted yogurt cups spray painted flat black for maximum WAF on the speaker cables - should I be using them on power cables as well?

What do you use, or . . . .why not?

Based on a suggestion from the DakiOM site I experimented with suspending all of my cables - AC, interconnect and speaker - from the rack with cheap cotton string using small sections of foam water pipe insulation to keep cables from touching each other and the rack and I've been very pleased with the result. Big improvement over the ceramic isolators i used previously.
The result was a perceived reduction in background noise I hadn't noticed present before. Total cost about $3.00 USD

Tpreaves. More accurately, I noticed a difference. I didn't notice any 'problem' before the tweak. After using the string tweak I noticed slightly higher SPL level at the same volume-dial setting. So, I interperted that as something masking the without-the-tweak sound that I labled background 'noise' for lack of a more objective description.
