RE: question Par

Thanks for your question as it brings something to my attention that I really should have mentioned.

I do not use speaker cables! The wires that are elevated in my system are 5m long balanced interconnects from my pre-amp to my active speakers (where the power amps are built into the speaker cabinets). As the rest of my equipment is on a 5 level rack no other interconnects touch the carpet except for a couple of wordclock cables as the system clock is sited on the bottom level of the rack. However space there is too limited to consider any form of elevation (though whether or not that would have any audible effect on a cable that just caries a regular pulse is open to question). Some power cables from the wall outlets also touch the carpet behind the rack.
