Speaker cable elevators/risers/lifts

[8991XJ]

I'm needing a double set of risers as my speaker wire has separated + and - conductors. The whole front of the room would be a complete mine field.

I have a similar arrangement with my speaker cables... I think at double the cost, I'd be out of the game, although my cables are about 3 feet long...

Or you can do like me and tape the sumbitches to the concrete floor underneath the carpet and walk on 'em. It helps if they are Nordost Flatlines if you want to avoid the trip hazard.

Is that cryogenically treated duct tape I hope?

Cryogenic treatment is overkill for duct tape. It’s sufficient that it only be directional.

Oxygen free Gorilla Tape is the best..... Joe told me so

I'm more concerned about the rubber bands holding the chopstix together being inductive...... That can cause the trons to turn sideways and cause diodic issues

 

[J!m]

I agree. If I'm honest with myself I can't tell the sonic difference between duct tape that froze in the truck or some kept warm in the basement.

Although there is a definite difference in sound when frozen tape is pulled off the roll as compared to warm tape. No question there.

Any WHY are you using rubber bands!?!n Hemp twine sounds best!

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

Me and Fat Freddy smoked the twine when we ran out of stems and seeds....

 

[J!m]

Ah, ok. Understandable.

This thread reminds me of a thread I follow on a UK forum for restoring old radios. The thread is called "The Audiophoolery Thread" and is now over 65 pages. Folks submit whatever latest audio snake oil they've found on the web.

Here's one for your enjoyment:

I think there’s a similar one on diy audio too

Would something of this design be the ultimate? Might be overkill, but if you're running Khorns, you're going to need the best. Photo taken at work.

If there’s rails on top, ya got yer solid conductor speaker leads.

Gary: Quad leads up top, but sometimes we have issues with cross-interference.

Bwahaha! I was wondering where the bag of rocks taped to the interconnects image came from! As for my setup I've ruled out risers as it gets my speaker cables (vintage Electricord 14AWG extension cord (pilfered from work because the plugs were damaged and not OSHA compliant) terminated with Monster banana jacks) too close to the degaussing coil in my TV thus creating the possibility of crosstalk

You turn those Khorns up too loud and your house plants start falling over.
