Maybe I have not had a cable lifter epiphany because the cheap solutions I have tried do not raise the cables high enough away from the floor. Have you ever read anything to suggest how high the cables should run vs the floor level?

Sorry for the late response, - i limit my time here at AA these days with the homogenization + intolerance of this site.
I never tried the Mapleshade 1ft long, (what looked like), pick up sticks. But I did have some curiosity about them verses what I have.
I bought my ceramic, "elephant feet" on audiogon years ago for next to nothing, - so I said "hey, WTF" They seem to make a difference, but, -it's not huge. Plus they are enough to keep my cats from messing with my speaker cables. They are only about 5 inches above the ground.
All wiring in my system is Cardas based on my speaker manufacturer's recommendation.So I can't tell you how much "leakage field" is present in Cardas compared to say the flat Nordost Valhalla, - or even some of the "almost" unshielded stuff made by Mapleshade. The Mapleshade take the cables more than a foot off the flooring. (Maybe it's due to the fact that these cables use an "air-dialectic" and would be larger, - and therefore higher and away from the floor and other items....
So that is my (wild or not) speculation.
I agree with the other posters, (the great Barry Diamonte), is to go with FREE first, - and see if you hear a change, - then spend money on something "better" if they do prove to be effective.
As far as above, - as a re-inforcement from my perspective only. I've tried 4 different versions of DIY rollerblocks and precisely ZERO performed as well as the ones made by Symposium. However, - most of the 4 that I've tried I still have in play somewhere in the system, as they are more effective than nothing at all.
Cheers,

Thx for your response.
