Mapeshade cable lifts or any cable lifts?

"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 $.

seriously,,my car goes faster with those flame decals on the side. but i do keep my cables off the floor. looks cool and sounds better. ha i want to find they way to test for placebo effect. i personally like placebo effect, works for me.

the COPS will certainly think your car is going faster if it has the flame decals.. LOL

Yeah, as long as the testing of a tweak is dirt cheap I am all for it. And little wood blocks are good too. Scrap made into some rough blocks will do.
Still friends Stringreen
The ones mentioned by Geoff are good, and cheap too, just a little extra work to make.
And Enid Lumley who first thought of risers deserves credit for them. And for a lot of audio tweak insights.
And she never deserved the scorn heaped on her back in the days of her writing for TAS, either.

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!

Thanks for the tips Elizabeth. The Mapleshade triad lifts essentially look like 3 sticks tied together IMO.

Currently I used unfinished myrtlewood blocks from Battlerock studios to raise my speaker wires and some long run RCAs about 2 inches off my carpeted floor. They came free with the speaker plinths I ordered from Battlerock. I have not heard any difference either good of bad by elevating various cables with these blocks.

Before I got the blocks the way I tested cable risers was really budget. I took some extra CD cases opened them up and put them on the floor like a tent and rested my cables on them. There was no difference in sound in my sound system. Maybe if they raised the cables higher a difference in SQ would have been made?
