Cable elevators

@w123ale  agreed!  Seems very system, cable and flooring dependent.  Seems pretty clear and simple.  If it improves the sound in your system great use them, if not, don’t use them and scroll on!  I have wood floors and ribbon cables so no improvement but I still use a few since i made them.  Why not. 

OP,

Thanks for the feedback on your test. This is why lifters have been around for at least thirty or forty years. I got mine around then… ceramic electrical… were relatively inexpensive back then and are a permanent part of my system. All this little stuff adds up. 

Ha.. my wife bemoaned me trying them...Mind you the first shot at it i used dollar store tumblrs that i had enough to cover cables.All the while she was making dinner peeing and moaning "blah blah"....Grabbed a beer and played first disk.She couldnt believe it made that much difference.She was quiet the rest of night 😉

My system audio rack is close enough to the front wall that I just use 3M wall hooks. While trying to figure out the lay of the cable, raising and lowering it see where it would fit against the wall, the sound improved with every inch I raised the cable, all the while I was standing to the side of my speaker. 

It was so obvious and immediate even at that position. I kept raising it and found no benefit past the 6" mark so that's how I hung them (no puns intended).

All the best,
Nonoise

I once read a recommendation from Mapleshade Audio to keep cables elevated at least 8" (? it could have been 6" ) off the ground , 

@nonoise and others interested in the wall hanging Mapleshade makes good looking wall cable holders .
