The finest Cable Elevators you ever auditioned?


Please share your listening experiences! I am especially interested in back to back comparisons. Perhaps you have gathered your audiophile friends around for a double blind shoot out? Would appreciate your guidance on how much of you budget should be devoted to cable elevators. Is there something out there under $1000 that really is a giant killer? Any truth in elevator directionality making a big difference?

I read Otis Elivator Company is planning to get into the cable elevator business.
They are planning to make some exclusive models with remote control cable lifting designs.
They are going straight for the top tier of cable elevating with models from $5,000 each up to $75,000 each.
THe coolest demo was with the remote controlled units flowing up and down to offer the best height ratio for each type of music.
The higher end models have calibration units included to automatically adjust each cable elevator in relation to sound pressure levels and frequencies..
They already have dozens of preorders from the Saud Royal Family.

Chadeffect and Elizabeth, your last posts have me in tears laughing so hard. This is great stuff. Oh my.......
Elizabeth, put the paper towel rolls in the freezer for 34.5 hours along with a picture of Mikey Fremer and you will notice a HUGE amazing increase of everything that ends in "-ality". I am thinking of marketing this and a set of four risers with this special scientifically proven technology of quantumology should come in at just under $1000.00. The only problem I am currently having is that the Fremer Foto eats all my ice cream in my freezer.
What about us purist who cant even accept tone controls. I cannot argue with fine tuning cable height using the Otis initially, but once you have established your average optimum cable height, surely you move to a fixed design at that height. I also cant help thinking my cats will take a special interest as metres of cable start elevating up and down. Aside from that, 3 questions occur: What is the best power source for an Otis and would you condition the power? What is the resale value for a much loved, slightly used Otis? Is there life beyond Otis...what is the fixed position solution? Pleased to see some are serious about Cable Elevation, unlike those low life cretins earlier in the thread. (btw -- any truth in the rumour ThyssenKrupp are develop a competing product?)
I actually had real elevators (albeit on a small scale) built and installed by my electrician and have found that using them with the toilet paper works best. Sometimes when I'm not looking or am at work, my cables like to ride up and down just for fun (those wiley interconnects)!! Make sure to put them on their own 20A circuits because those suckers are power hungry let me just say. And make SURE to remove the emergency phones. My Audioquests though it was a hoot to call when they got "stuck"...yeah RIGHT ;)
