Patience. Black Friday Sale in two weeks.I can't afford that many cable ties. I'll just have to keep slumming with these. Only needed 11 of them to get all the interconnects and power cords properly routed and separated. Oh, I mean for the HP system. The big rig needed about twice that many.
ROFL!!!!
I use cotton mesh on cables for a reason and it saves the cost of buying magic crystals.
Although I am partial to magic crystals (and purple), there is -- IMO -- validity to potential interference from static electricity (which I assume the cotton minimizes). I'll admit this here and then run and hide for a while, but I *did* use some cable lifters under the speaker cables in my previous house. No, not the portable negative ion eaters from Furutech, just some lifters made of ceramic that looked better than the empty tube boxes I first experimented with, had a little cradle to keep the cable in place, and IIRC were like $79 for a dozen of them. Getting the cables off the floor made a difference at that house which had wall-to-wall carpeting on a concrete pad subfloor. Not night and day, not huge, but noticeable. I didn't attempt to understand or explain it, I just heard it. My current house has suspended hardwood floors. Tried those same lifters here in the big rig, and I couldn't hear one bit of difference, even though I was expecting to. Nothing. So although my 2 data points are hardly worthy from any scientific standpoint, the static thing does make sense to me as it very likely existed at some level on the carpet, but obviously doesn't stand much of a chance on hardwood.
I'm still going to get 4 or 5 of those Furutech thingies to put under my headphone cable though. I figure if I lay my head on the table while listening, not only can I keep the cable level but I can watch the negative ions being eaten. May need to add a pillow for comfort. Just need to find out what the refueling interval and cost is first.
I will only send enough cat fur to build another cat.I'm not sure if I should look forward to this or have all my mail held at the Post Office. LOL!!

Had a similar experience in my room. Lifted the speaker wire and did hear an improvement. Sounded nice to my Golden Retriever who decided to eat them they sounded so good!Although I am partial to magic crystals (and purple), there is -- IMO -- validity to potential interference from static electricity (which I assume the cotton minimizes).

If I needed to elevate the cables I have I'd just use some ceramic cable isolators, just like this:I can't afford that many cable ties. I'll just have to keep slumming with these.
