Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil

Geoff has as comrade in arms with Teo weighing in on the question raised by the OP.  I hear nothing but pablum from the two of them.  Kooky nonsense, really.  However, if there is some benefit from elevating speaker cable, then get a saw and cut up some 2X4's with a notch to elevate cable and see if it is worthwhile.  I see lots of rooms at audio shows that use pricey cable elevators so maybe there is some benefit to it.  Try the no-cost approach first to see if there is some benefit to the elevation process.  Frankly, I have a life to live and cable elevation is not an audio anxiety with which I choose to engage.  However, a discussion of the sonic differences between NOS tube variants, yes, that is a worthwhile discussion.  My carpet-dwelling speaker cables make my system sing.   Relaaaax and enjoy the music.  Cheers,Whitestix

2channel8,
I just popped back to see where this silly thread has gone and think you might have the most insightful post of all.  High anxiety and OCD runs rampant in society, with sellers guilting folks into buying products of little or no utility.  It is nowhere worse than among audio-fools.  The "fuse-heads" have got the syndrome to a greater degree than most others.  I think for some folks, the propensity for self-delusion is rather unbridled.  At any rate, I like the way you think.
