Speaker wire isolators - Do they improve SQ?


In our beloved hobby we see at time all sort of gadgets and widgets and we ask ourselves, do the really improve SQ? This is the case of speaker wire isolators. More than often I am seeing on AG systems and even suggested by a reputable seller. My question to this forum is: Do they actually improve SQ ? It is noticeable? What material is used or makes this product workable?  Can I make them at home? I have seen some for sale at remarkable high price and I wonder if they are a cost effectively a sound investment? I have a carpeted floor. Please comment as you like.

I have cable risers on my system. I don't know if they make my system sound better but I do like the way they look compared to the cables just lying on the floor. They are the least expensive items in my system so I can easily justify the cost.
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.

I have made several different versions out of standard wood dimensions for very cheap money.  What kind of cable do you have?  Is it ribbon or standard round cable?  If you have access to a chop saw or table saw this is really easy.  PM me if you want to see some easy configurations I have.
Nothing like p*ssing on someone's efforts.

I guess the old saying:
'If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing'
has gone. Now, saying whatever you want is 'basic human behaviour'.

They'll make a difference if you're expecting them to.  Just like cables.  Welcome to basic human psychology.
LOBINERO if you see them in your systems it improves sq i made them out 2''thick by 2''x2''pine there a joke
that's what suspected minor subtle improvement, mostly unnoticeable. I will still make my risers and see if any improvement comes out of it.
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.  
I remember the first guy I ever saw who has them in his audio system.He  was one of those guys who had a $100,000 systems .They looked cue.His Big Sonus Farbers were in the middle of the living room.He said they worked. I was there to buy a pair of Sonus Faber Lutios he used in the kids room...lol
I bought some foam blocks to make some M shaped blocks and silicone them to a wooden stand. Will see if they make a difference.
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...

Do a forum search for "cable risers". You'll find enough posts/opinions to keep you busy for the weekend....

I have no comment/opinion as I've never used them.
