RE: Quads and Cat

From what little I understand of it, the lifts are supposed to do two things - restrict vibrations coming from the floor and remove the asymmetry of the dielectric field (air above, floor below) so that lifting the cables reduces dielectric losses and lets the cable designer's deliberate balancing of cable properties to work in reality. Most of us don't have the electronics and speakers that would reveal the effects. In my case the bass cables are long but the mid/tweeter cables are just short of 3 ft. and touch the floor for a short distance. Besides which, my room is too crowded for cables not to be a tripping hazard as the speakers are in the middle of the room. Put them on lifts and it is assured to be a disaster..
