It ain't no myth. A suggestion would be go to Home Depot... and get 1/4 in wood doweling and 5/8 inch nuts to hold it together. Make a tripod with 11 or 12" long doweling. Try it out in the store to make sure it works. T

I just copied Mapleshade's approach and rubber-banded a trio of equal length cheap-as-hell dowel rods (the wooden rods I used are 3/8" to 1/4" diameter, 16" long or so.)
Go to Mapleshade's website and simply copy their approach and save big time. I did. It worked fine. Cheap as hell, too (and you gotta love that!) :-)
Remember: your flooring is just as much a dielectric absorber/releaser of energy as the actual constituent parts of the cable itself, and by elevating, you get the signal away from the distortions that such a massive amount of dielectric all along the cable's length imparts to the sound.
The better your system and ears, the more this tweak will do for your sound and enjoyment.
I didn't believe it either....... until I tried it.
I use these. Thirty pieces for twenty bucks at Home Depot. Cheap enough I just bought a box and used them whether or not they make any difference. They do at least keep me from stepping on them over and over. They are called rebar chairs and come in dozens of types and styles. There are wire ones as well for those against using plastic.

These would be good too, if you could get a smaller quantity see link.
