Cable Elevators


Just curious if anyone is using cable elevators and what changes they brought about. I have read there are benefits to having cables raised off the carpet.

That's part of it Frank, for sure. Then again it was fairly easy to hear even back in 1994 when my system was nowhere near where it is today, and neither were the cable elevators. Don't forget, mine are tricked out with rubber bands and TC.  


Georgehifi, meet ausaudio. You guys have a lot in common. What you have in common with audiophiles I don't know. But you seem to have a lot in common with each other.

Please note the Cable Elevators used throughout.

Please read the comments from Deborah:
During the middle of one song (I had my eyes closed) ,Chuck took the cables off the Cable Elevators; I immediately heard the sound become distorted and muddy.


This is what happened: In the middle of one song I quietly went around the outside of the left speaker (so as not to interfere with the sound) and carefully one by one removed the cable elevators. Only got the first two on the left out before she heard the change and opened her eyes. This was a totally unexpected totally double blind test. Literally blind!

I’ve done this a bunch of times, always the same result. The effect is not subtle. Everyone always hears it. Everyone always prefers with cable elevators.

Look, I totally get there are guys who call themselves audiophiles who can’t hear a thing. Cripple kids play basketball, so why not? Also get there’s people just want to argue and complain. That’s life. Stubborn, cheap, know-it-all. The reasons run the gamut.

But please, if you don’t want to look a total fool, see if you can find one to dispute that isn’t so chock a block full of proof you do not know what you are talking about. Please.
