Totally Free, Easy DIY Cable Lifters


Yesterday, I was reading about the benefits of getting cables off the floor. In my system, the ICs and speaker cables were already off the floor, but my power cords weren’t. I'm not what you'd call a handy guy, but I decided to see what I could do. The idea is to get the cables around 4” off the floor, so I cut  some strips of thick cardboard to size, and made notches to hold the cables. I put them in and…

Since this free, and so easy for anyone to try, I’m not even going to tell you what I heard (wouldn’t want to create any expectation bias 😉). Try it for yourself and post the results here. Depending on the cables, you will probably need 1 piece of cardboard every 2-3’.

Having proven to myself the value of getting cables off the floor, with my homebrew elevators, I decided to try a set of Audioquest Fog Lifters. Wow, I did not expect such an improvement over the cardboard! Listening to some of my favorite music, yesterday after installing them, almost brought tears to my eyes.

If you haven’t already got your cables off the floor, try it with the cardboard. Once you hear the difference, I’d highly recommend looking into the Fog Lifters, or something similar.
