A Couple Little Things I'm Wondering About

I've tried both since it doesn't really cost anything and yes it makes a difference.  Am I doing it now?  No.  Don't really care and not worth the trouble.  I would encourage audiophiles to try some of these tweaks even if they appear to make no sense.  If it doesn't cost anything what have you lost?  

@millercarbon has the best system in the world. It is certified by..(drum roll)..@millercarbon himself. If you follow his instruction you will end up not liking your system because your ears, head shape, room size and construction are all different. @millercarbon's system sounds better than anything to HIM!

Cable lifters can help separate speaker cables and interconnects from power cords, which can help to reduce or eliminate noise in your system. My previous system had issues when power cords were too close to other cables, so cable lifters helped to keep cables apart and the noise to a minimum.

Other than that, the mere fact of lifting cables off the ground does not lead to audible differences in my experience.

However, this is why I still use them:

1. Cable lifters prevent my robot vacuum cleaner from running over my cables. I use heavy ceramic cable lifters which do not budge when the Roomba bumps into them.

2. RCA caps keep dust and other particles away from my unused jacks, and I feel they also might be helpful in preventing oxidation.

My cables are draped across my wall to wall carpet and my system sounds great to me. As far as plugging unused rca jacks, I don't see how it could make much if any detectable/audible difference. Waste of money if you ask me. I'd put the money towards a nice power chord or something else....

Once you get past plugging in all the gear and music comes out of the speakers, it a GAS.
