CABLE ELEVATORS PLUS (SET OF 8)

'Elevate' your musical experience with the best cable supports on the market! You can gain significant improvements in the sound of your audio or home theater system by elevating your speaker and power cables off the floor. The improvements you will hear in detail and dynamics are not subtle. Many of you have already reported tremendous increases in clarity, tonal accuracy, and dynamics with Cable Elevators in place. Produced by a leading manufacturer of porcelain isolators, Cable Elevators are then coated with a non-conductive glaze to further reduce noise and a special non-slip foot for added stability with today's heavier cables. Cable Elevators are a simple, affordable tweak greatly enhancing the sonic presentation of your entire system and helping with cable management.

I'm thinking that one ought to also replace any oxygen in the listening environment with something like nitrogen or argon or something. Anybody know of any audiophile scuba gear? Or maybe a diving bell with good headphone options?

b0b---I don't think I will play another gig until those cable lifts arrive.

I don't think they're priced high enough to make any impact in the high-end audio community. I mean, really - how could anything that costs less than a thousand dollars make any difference in audio quality?

Don't laugh. I've got a set of these and I've noticed a big difference in sound -- especially right after I've applied some Head-On® directly to my forehead.

High Quality Elevator Cables Are Important

Post by Joey Ace »

This is a new one for me.

I guess you could test the concept with any non-conducting cable support, such as cardboard boxes.

Laugh if you like, but they significantly altered my listening experience.
(Unfortunately, they were extraordinarily painful to insert.)

What makes these extra useful-----every once in a while the drummer does not trip over my kinked up GeorgeL 155 cable. This will make sure that I get him.

Yep, once I pay off my $2500 AC power cord and my $7500 speaker cables, guess I gotta get me a set of these :lol:

You guys laugh all you want... but I gotta tell you, things sounded WAY different after I got the cables off of the floor.

Even the lyrics of songs have changed. I used to think that in Springsteen's version of "Blinded by the Light," he was singing "wrapped up like a douche, another runner in the night."

But after I got the All New Audiophile Speaker Cable Elevators, I could clearly hear that the line was actually "wrapped up like a DEUCE, another runner in the light."

Unfortunately, this makes even less sense than what I originally thought he was saying. "Douche" sort of works in that line, but "deuce?" Sorry, no. Which is why I had to stop using cable elevators...

I use shoe heel elevators for the "verticaly challenged". I can now hear conversations much more clearly and the air up hear smells much better.
