Hey all,
I was thumbing through the latest music direct catalog when I saw these: http://www.musicdirect.com/products/....asp?sku=AELEV . Basically they are "cable elevators" which raise your speaker cables off the ground to reduce capacitance (supposedly) and microphonics (maybe).
These seem like a crock to me (especially at that price eek!), but if they aren't it got me thinking... wouldn't these be insanely easy to DIY for a very small bit of cash?
What I was picturing would be essentially a wood block with a nice custom groove cut for the cable, mounted on like a flat vibrapod or other foot. A higher end design might have two layers separated by blu tack or something similar. Maybe $5-8 a piece... or even cheaper if you don't use a vibrapod... say $1-2.
What do you think? Worth looking into one of these days or is cheap snake-oil still snake-oil?
