I thought Enid Lumley, decades ago, convinced all golden-eared audiofools of the benefits of lifting power, IC, and speaker cable off floors.

I've been using PVC-pipe couplings (far left, stacked atop one of 3 Tripp-Lite isolation-transformer-based powerconditioners*) for a few years, but the last couple weeks I needed more and converted to plastic-electical-conduit couplers. These I even painted after removing the price labels! The smaller ones in this pic are 2", the larger ones 2-1/2"...ninety-one cents and $1.32 at Lowe's...plus lacquer thinner and spraypaint. :-)

Still on the carpet, where they will remain forever, are 2 bundles of mostly white speaker cable for surround speakers and SWs and powercables for the SW amp and V'steen woofers. All the power, IC, and speakercable for the front-3 channels never touch the carpet.

* I use these for the less-critical amps in the system. The main amps are plugged into an Audience aR2p-TO p-con, the smallish white box plugged into an outlet on the left-hand wall.
