RE: Yes, lifting cables off the ground is snake oil

Just saying what Tre'? That because you have never tried it or seen anyone else try it therefore it doesn't or can't have an effect on the sound? At least 2 or three logical fallacies there. I'm sure I can find more based on your question how it can pull horse blankets off cd's and records. The Red Herring Fallacy right off the top of my head. You are not pulling horse blankets off of cds and records, you are potentially improving the nature of the electrical signal traveling through the wire by changing the dielectric and or vibration dampening. Far be it from me to believe in everything Pierre does but he is a recording "engineer". I would bet dollars to donuts that when practical, like in his own recording studio, that he has his microphone cables off the floor.I could be wrong but I doubt it. I'm sure he will answer that question if put to him. Given the low level of the signal in microphone cables one might speculate that that may be the most effective place for this tweak??
