Cable Elevators - What do you use?


In the search for cable elevators I have found a wide variety of opinions, not only on what constitutes a scientifically smart elevator, but also, those who think it is all snake oil.

I use inverted yogurt cups spray painted flat black for maximum WAF on the speaker cables - should I be using them on power cables as well?

What do you use, or . . . .why not?

On youtube, Cardas has a few videos on everything from shielding to construction to forged spades.

Anyway, I found the video on "Current thru a cable" very interesting. If a lantern battery can cause those two wires to vibrate, then imagine what AC current thru a power cord can do to a nearby IC or speaker cable or even another PC.

What that video puts into perspective, to me, is that interaction between cables is very real. Enough to utilize cable elevators? Not sure, but enough to make me wonder about them.

Also, check out the videos on shielding. Even as the cables approach the table, you see there is interaction with it's surroundings. Again, enough to require cable elevators?
