Bought myself some speaker cable risers, elevators, whatever you want to call them. The point is they work and they make your system sound glorious! I mean seriously, look at all they do for your system for only $598 for a set of 6. The red dot helps with stray EMI noise management!
To make this possible, we first experimented with several elevator materials, including wood, ceramic, and plexiglass. Ultimately aluminum was chosen for its musicality, neutral tonal balance, low-frequency weight, and high-frequency air. We then experimented with multiple HFT variations (the red dot you see on the riser below where the speaker cable rests) to interact with a cable’s EM fields. Ultimately we choose the HFT variant in Double-Blind Testing that brought out the most dramatic and musically satisfying results. UEF Performance Elevators do far more than elevate your cables from the floor; they raise up your entire system.
But I didn’t want to dive into the deep end of the cable riser world right away, so I bought these instead. I’ll report back in a month or so to give you guy s a detailed review! So excited.
I use cable risers in my system… Actually, old telegraph cable isolators from along old railroad tracks, some dating back almost 100 years!
I use them for three reasons…
They’re a bit of old history. Just think, there were roaring, bellowing steam locomotives rolling by these on a daily basis back in the day!
They are unique and neat to look at. Not a one of these isolators are identical, not to mention slightly different styles and colors from different manufacturers over the years.
Keeping the cables off the floor makes for easy sweeping/vacuuming around the system. Plus it just makes for a cleaner looking install.
In no way, shape or form do they do anything for the sound.
Thank you, sir. I recently pulled out my Martin Logan SL3’s and JL Audio e110 subs to put these Klipsch RP-8000F’s in here. I don’t currently have a picture of the “backside”. It’s typically not the pretty part of the system, though it’s not as bad as some I’ve had/seen. LOL
Just for fun, here’s the view from the listening seat, kitty beds and toys included.
So @Chops planted a seed when he shared his pretty damned cool riser solution. Gottta keep up with the Joneses and all so I’d been doing to eBay searching and came up with these. A guy had 10 of them for sale, they needed some clean up. I got all 10 for $92 bucks including shipping (heavy mother effers).
I’m happy with the outcome despite them not being ghetto chic like my pedicure toe spreader idea.
If interested, you can find them by searching for Hemingray 42 Glass Insulator.
testing soon. i like the way you think!
