That would be viscous coupling or harmonic balancer in automotive parlance.
They look very pretty but what are they?

Ha,ha, I love that company promotional hype. Aluminum risers sounded the bestâŚHmmm.
That being said I made multiple sets of risers for my system and have over 10 installed. I built them mainly to aid in dusting and cleaning my hardwood floor. I bought a relatively cheap 1 1/2" thick IKEA bamboo cutting board and cut as many 3" diameter risers as I could get out of the board using a
3 1/4" hole saw. I then hollowed out the bottom of each riser using an 11/2" Forsner bit to a depth of 1/2" to allow for installation of epoxy and lead shot for weight stabiIity . I then rounded over the edges of each puck shaped riser with a file and sandpaper on my drill press. I then routed a 1/2" deep trough in the tops to let the cable sit in a recessed saddle. I filled the recess in the bottom with epoxy / shot mixture. Stained and varathaned each puck. I installed a 1/2" copper pipe strap c/w small brass screws to lightly hold the cables. I stuck 4 @1/2" dia. Sorbothane hemisphere feet on the bottom
of each⌠They look kinda steam punk, Iâm happy
Total cost for all materials approximately $50 -60$. Sorbothane hemispheres arenât cheap at Amazon. I donât know what effect they have on the sound, if any, but they look super cool and help me clean the floors. If they help the sound thatâs a bonus. Got them under my subwoofer RCA signal cables too. Cables, speaker stands and sliding stand baseplate all fabricated by me too.

FYSA, PSA, Sorbathane is great at isolating BUT that stuff sticks to wood like crazy and WILL destroy the finish. Ask me how i. knowâŚ
I now add little felt furniture dots under all my sorbathane no matter where or what the sorbathane is touching. I have NO idea if this just defeats the purpose but that is the level of silly i have reachedâŚ
Now i need a nice design from someone for a riser and what type of wood is âbestâ To use so i can commission my friend to make me a dozen or 2 please. Someone help a brother out and direct me please.
BTWâŚF$@k you @db_Cooper for making this post, i had managed to avoid these stupid things for years until just now w/ your stupid silly post. Now i must have them so i can easier sweep the dustâŚyes the dust from under and around the cablesâŚ
Youâre right about sorbothane sticking to wood and it does stain certain products. It does no harm to my varathaned wooden floors but can leave marks on unfinished wood. I use loads of them especially on light weight headphone amps an dacs that want to slide around . If you want to stop them sticking you can stick small circles of sandwich bag material on the bottom or rub the sorbothane surface with a dry paper towel. Both methods solve the sticky issue. Have fun and donât forget to sweep up after you.
