Pete H Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Don't you just want to push one of them down like domino's? He should probably turn the heat up too, then he could remove that stupid scarf and vest. LOL 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Love to try some of the amps. Setting all those wires up on little stands reminds me of witchcraft or voodoo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twk123 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I can actually hear his voice echoing off the walls. But the cables are so good, it actually makes the sound immune to primary reflection points... I never got that about power cords, you have cheap wiring in your walls etc so why would the last 3 ft of "nice" cable make any difference? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebuy Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 There is nothing wrong with elevating your speaker wires-- it gives the sound more "air" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieb Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I mean why not, what could hurt. I actually do keep my speaker wire from laying on the carpet - -- My elevators - Otis of course. Makes those Cardas blocks look pretty puny - and mine have a capacity of 4500 lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtr20 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I never got that about power cords, you have cheap wiring in your walls etc so why would the last 3 ft of "nice" cable make any difference? I have heard about solid copper power cables being better than stranded power cables. If that is the case, you probably have solid copper wiring in your house. That part could make sense.

jwc Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 BS! Dont add props under the cables to elevate....One must suspend the cables from the ceiling with hand woven yarn. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Dad worked for Otis Elevators for a while....he was the one who did the testing where you press the "Down" button, and then jump up in the air when the car starts to move...he would always come home from work with a funny look on his face.....

digital_throwback Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) I came very close to buying a Prima Luna integrated tube amp. I'm glad I went digital with my Cambridge, if this is the typical owner of that equipment. Nice listening room. Maybe a couple marble statues would help bounce the sound a bit more. Perhaps nobody has informed him of the "potential" reason for elevating your cables from the floor...you know, a floor with carpet composed of man made fibers that could result in very minor magnetic field creation. Not that I buy into that crap, but this guy has wood floors and has elevated his cables with, um, wood! For the record, my ZuAudio cables are laying on my carpet.

ratcobob Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 BS! Dont add props under the cables to elevate....One must suspend the cables from the ceiling with hand woven yarn. If you're spinning this yarn there's probably money to be made. What do you think about using excess public hair? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiva Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 The best thing to do as shown, is to hang them from ones mantlepiece. Just make sure they drape symmetrically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babadono Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Mine go through the ceiling above the ground level family room HT and through the floor joists in the basement 2 channel room. Is that elevated enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyrc Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 (edited) You should not only elevate your cables, but sit below them. It is best to put them about 6.5 feet off the floor, and arrange them in the shape of triangle (from the power amp to each of the two front speakers, and with a cable across between those two speakers, which is connected to nothing on either end ... this is arrangement is called "tri-wiring"). Of course, wear a pyramid on your head. If you wear glasses, like the individual in the video, be careful to not turn your head while listening, because reflection of the lenses will adversely affect the imaging. One way to prevent this is to use a head clamp. Clamps made of titanium get good reviews, but those that are gold plated restore the warmth of the music. As Linn recommends, do not have a telephone, or anything else with a diaphragm, in the room that may vibrate in response to the sound waves. Listeners can hold their breath to prevent their own diaphragm from moving, no matter how high the SPL.
