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


  •  I'm looking at some porcelain cable lifters to get some power and speaker cable up off the floor.  Does raising the cables off the floor really make a difference? It's going to be about 200 bucks for 10 of them. Thanks.

A combined issue of capacitance and motor noise.

The numbers are very tiny but they add to the signal.

The ear only hears the modulation of the peak values of transients so it does not care that the numbers are vanishingly small as compared to the whole,...it hears them anyway. The ear only hears the fine difference in the peak value(s), over time, in relation to one another, so the tiny modulations are heard. Discerned.

The ear only hears transient function peak values on the positive side, it misses the other 90% of the given signal.

And it can deal with hundreds of different frequencies of transients all mixed together, all at the same time, in real time.

The world’s most intricate and complicated FFT analysis system, one that science cannot equal, nor understand.

There is no electrical measuring or computational equivalent. It’s not even close.

All connected into a computational device with an average of 86 billion neurons, connected into up to 11 different dimensions of millions of said dimensional structures.

"You can’t hear that, my engineering degree and my measurements says you can’t!"...that behavior is, politely, illiterate, at best.

"The Human Brain Can Create Structures in Up to 11 Dimensions"

Neuroscientists have used a classic branch of maths in a totally new way to peer into the structure of our brains. What they’ve discovered is that the brain is full of multi-dimensional geometrical structures operating in as many as 11 dimensions.

We’re used to thinking of the world from a 3-D perspective, so this may sound a bit tricky, but the results of this new study could be the next major step in understanding the fabric of the human brain - the most complex structure we know of.

This latest brain model was produced by a team of researchers from the Blue Brain Project, a Swiss research initiative devoted to building a supercomputer-powered reconstruction of the human brain.

The team used algebraic topology, a branch of mathematics used to describe the properties of objects and spaces regardless of how they change shape. They found that groups of neurons connect into ’cliques’, and that the number of neurons in a clique would lead to its size as a high-dimensional geometric object.



And then it just gets more complicated from there on out.

Read that again: "the most complex structure we know of". And monkeys using them have various levels of self awareness, skills and projections. Various levels of interconnectedness in those structural potentials.

And thankfully we are individuals, and we each have various levels of skill. Machines, on the other hand.. are the same, and are as product and commodity. Humans are individuals and different. A good thing. Try not to be product or commodity. Think. Grow, investigate. Negative proofing is dogmatic science - and is a ship of fools.

I don’t mind people possessing ignorance, as ignorance itself, conceptually, is innocent, but when that ignorance tilts at something it does not understand, and it involves my life, and continues a push in the face of refusing data and refusing realities....---I may just start pushing back.

So, in effect, cable risers work, all that other esoterica is relevant and much of it works as advertised--to those with the neural connectedness... to 'get it'.

You have an explanation, as a doorway of investigation, no one owes you ~even an inch~ - more than that. It is valid in the world of science if you venture down that rabbit hole that requires a certain minimum of intellect applied, and.... have a nice day.
The article and source data says that some only get 7 dimensions of connectivity. But what that means, is not known or written of. So the meaning is ambiguous. perhaps it is connected to higher brain function in complexity of data analysis and speed of analysis. Which means an expanded data and knowledge base, for starters. But that is all conjecture at this point, so who really knows. But the data for the structures did indeed arise and be found real, in the study. The indicators are in the mentioned directions.

So it may play out in hearing function and realization as tied to intellect.

Ears have an IQ just like conscious and unconscious cognition does, and we each possess our genetic and learned variances in those areas.

So some can't hear it and can't intellectually wrap their head around it. But that does not necessarily mean it is permanent, it may simply be all about levels of exposure to clear and clean enough audio systems that may allow them to systematically find and discover.

Some project emotion and refuse, as a way of living life in a world of dogmatic negative proofing. These are the most difficult and repetitious... and grind forums of decent audio people...into the ground. If they be allowed to continue, that is the result.
Some of the biggest audio corporations in the world have demonstrated the usefulness of equipment and cable isolation, from any given vibration.

Pioneer used to have this little test bed that had the equipment in what was essentially, an anechoic chamber and isolated from physically borne low frequencies as well. And then a separate identical system, non isolated. Both in the same space, both could be heard one after the other.

The differences, sonically, were dramatic.

However, many to most don’t realize these effects among all the other sources of noise in their systems.

This can be multiplied by their mental position on such things, and possibly even tied to their inability to hear such things. That inability, both mental and or hearing related, may be a stubborn insistence and not really hearing related.

The skill of such may be in them, but possibly blocked by emotional positions on such complex scenarios, as emotions are a primary filter that is designed from the ground up--- to defeat logic, and enact primal function as priority override...

It can also be a scenario complicated by not being able to mount up the mentality required to commit to making a long chain of repeated single cause aAnalyses of this complex equation. Many things can be at play.

These billion dollar plus corporations, like that of Pioneer’s work in this area... do indeed follow these formulae to get to this ’better sound’, but this equipment rarely makes it out of places like Japan, which is many times - their origin point. The products that do reach for the best, in Japan, are Japan release only. Just one example of where and how this scenario exists.

The end result is that people, in North America, for example.... don’t see generally the evidence of these major bits of research in vibration isolation, and some people henceforth feel..somehow.. that this is an irrelevant or idiotic endeavor.

The reality is that there is plenty of evidence and some can’t piece it together. Railing against such things does not make the railing true, it’s just ranting and railing, nothing more. The brooding and implied pressure of a fluffing might -- attempting to make right.

One has to commit to enough single cause analysis and system noise elimination, to get to the point that things like cable risers do make a noticeable change.

Whether the change is efficacious or not, and worth the expense of the given components involved, is up to the user.

 A user who’s hearing mechanism is individual and individually built. Common to us all ... but in neurological refinement - unique.
