@tattooedtrackman - the answer depends on
- your cables -
- you said they are thick,which suggests a complex cable geometry
- They probably take into account the effect of different floor coverings
- I doubt if risrs would make any improvement
- your floor covering
- if you have hardwood without any soft covering then risers would probably make little difference, depending on the cable
- Carpe or rug - wool is best (see below)
- your floor - wood, concrete, ceramic
- eithere of these woud probably not impact your sound
Man Made fibers are the worst and putting some air between the cables and the floor convering may be beneficial (depends on cable geometry)
I made my own from chlidrens alphabet blocks (from a dollar store) glued to a small cereamic tile for stabiity. on opposite sides I glued two pieces of craft sticks to hold the cable in place.
- the tile is 2" square and bought in a sheet for a shower floor - from home depot
Not the most elegeant solution, but people like their simplicity and being wood/ceramic does not impact performance.
They made very little difference from when the cables sat on the broadloom, but my cables are not prone to the type of interference that can occur in this situation.
I’m all about keeping costs low and looks are not important, so the blocks were ideal for me
I would not place bi-wired cables on top of each other - try to seperate them by about 2 inches
