Mapeshade cable lifts or any cable lifts?

The OP asked if cable risers made any difference and Stringreen provided an answer to the question and included a specific detail related to the previous post made my Elizabeth. I don't really see what was so offensive about the post unless there is some other history that I don't know about.

For what it's worth, when I was reading the original post I was thinking that simple wood blocks would be an easy way to test the risers. I have significant doubts of the risers making a difference in 99.99% of systems but I also know that placebo is just as good as reality, especially when it's cheap.

Still friends, Liz....

Interesting the two no's are from 5 and 5A owners!!! Maybe the 5 seris isn't that reveling and no difference can be heard!!! Just a possibility!!!
Agree with Elizibeth it was a snide unnessary remark!
Apologies to RV and JR!

Enid Lumley's cable tunnels worked quite well - sections of pine 2x4s with the cables suspended inside the tunnels using thread and eye hooks.

"And just because YOU can't hear worth a damn*, does not mean no one else can.
*(or have equipment with enough subtlies to allow one to hear the difference)"

Ah yes, the ultimate audio put-down.

"Just because you can't hear some nonsense tweak, it must mean either your ears or gear is defective".

Been used for years. Just as smarmy as the first time.

Like many other issues in audio, it'll sound as good as you want to believe it will. One thing I'll agree with is that it's cheap enough to do some experimenting and not waste too many $.
