Products for raising cables off the floor.


What are the best products for raising cables off the floor? This would include speaker cables, interconnects, and power cables. Also, what kind of distance should I keep between the power cords and the interconnects? I have wall to wall carpeting. The run from my preamp to my mono amps is about six feet each. The run from the amps to the speakers is about four feet each. The run for the power line to the amps is about five feet each. Any information would be helpful. Thank you, Kevin

hi kevine
your runs are fairly short. a riser in from each end of the cable will relieve the stress on the cable, so you should be ok with 2 per cable. i don't know what the best risers are, each may or may not have different impacts on your system. it's not cost effective to try all of the risers out there and reviews are only specific to the systems that the products were reviewed on. so you will have to make your decision on what you feel you're comfortable with aesthetically and financially.

i dabble in tweaks for my own system and developed risers for my own application. here's the website:

i have made them double high and 4-high as well for specific applications.
any questions, please feel free to e-mail

Personally, I like the risers available from Signal Cable (look under the specialty items) and for a few reasons.

One, they look pretty good (they seem to blend in with any decor, being clear.)
Two, they are cheap.
Third and most importantly they have a very small contact surface with the cables, suspending the cables more than some designs, wich seem to "carry" the cable.

You might want to check out Audiogon member Raggamuffin. I see under his system he has made some, using Orangina bottles and chopsticks. What the heck.
