"Best" cable elevators?

The dowel teepee seems to be in vogue right now. Very easy DIY project. Quick and simple, try some tall dixie cups. If you don't notice an improvement, you might not want to go any further. A lot will depend on what your cables are resting on. (carpet, floating wood, hard wood, tile etc....) If you do decide to go further, try any cup about 4-6 inches tall. Terra cotta clay pots work also. Material can be wood, clay, ceramic, porcelan, glass, they all will work. I had 2 speaker runs and a 25' balanced interconnect laying on carpet. I went to Home Depot and bought 25 terra cotta pots for $0.46 @. Did it make a difference, yes it did. A bit more air and extension, worth the small expence.
