Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil

Paul_graham,
Now that's as reasonable an explanation as any. As long as the cost is sane, who's to say how one dresses up their acoustic achievement? 

You can look at it like window tinting on a car or a nice leather case for your camera. Both aren't needed but it's totally up to the individual.

Finishing touches are a reward unto themselves.

All the best,

FWIW my experience is that the vibration control effect is more important than the dielectric. I recently upgraded from Shunyata Dark Field Elevators V1 to V2. The latter have an elastic suspension. On my long (10 meter) interconnects the impact of the suspended lifters is noticeable. Greater clarity and ease, without them the system sounds slow and congested

personally I have never liked the heavy porcelain ones my alternative (which I use on the long runs providing power to my actively shielded cables) are the simple Doug Fir ones from Cardas. The Shunyata are expensive but you could come  with a DIY alternative with a similar elastic suspension

Not sure I can help with the cable issue but I can sell you magic tweezers to make your cd's sound better. Wait! I have a green magic pen for the cd's too! Got you covered...Save your $$ and apply it to something qualitative please...

Whoa! Hey, that's weird. Paul_graham isn't even on this thread. Cue Twilight Zone music.

Twillight Zone indeed.
