Speaker wire isolators - Do they improve SQ?
Post removed |
Are you a vinyl guy? It does help with vibration control, and cleaning. Yes you can make your own, yes they will work great. I make W, Ms then a flat piece for the bass. The flat is siliconed to the M or W. That is where the real dampening happens. Don't use glue, use silicone. On the bottom of the flat you can use little silicone stick on feet (come on sheets). I use, MDF, or soft wood (fir, or pine) then paint.. Enjoy, making them, it's fun, no they don't have to cost 60-80.00 a pair, to work very well, friggin nuts... Regards |
Cable risers are something to look at after many other more substantial improvements have already been undertaken wether that be equipment upgrades or room treatments. Most opinions that I have read theorize the greatest (and possibly only) benefit is cable elevation over carpet due to potential capacitance issues being induced in the speaker cable. This is going to be a very subtle, if it occurs, and if the rest of the room/system is not on a level that very very subtle improvements are able to be discerned then any improvement could be missed IMHO. |
here are some that you can use with both ribbon or round cables and they won't cost you an arm and a leg. if you find you can't hear a difference they still look nice. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisa42i4-custom-made-cable-elevators-upgraded-version-set-of-10-tweaks |
