Cable elevators

Ok,

Im kind of bewildered by this one.

I'll admit, it certainly adds a nice cosmetic aspect to a stereo.
Ive never seen these for sale in any High end audio places. What is the purpose of these?
Do they make a difference in sound quality?
Are they purely cosmetic?
Do they serve some other practical function unrelated to sound?

I do like how they make everything seem a little bit more organzied.

I think it depends on what type speaker cable you have, I have never heard any real improvement elevating speaker cables (even with other audiophiles present to listen) but
don't rule out that some other cable designs can be slightly improved.......easy matter to test on your own and draw your own conclusions.
