Lifting and Isolating Speaker Cable

Tiger Al, yes that has been my thinking as well but I spoke to my local audio dealer and he said that there is a noticeable difference based on his experience. They carry the Myrtlewood blocks as an in stock item and charge about $5.00 a piece. My guess is that I may only need a total of 6 as my cable is rather large and ridged. I will have the opportunity to make the purchase, test them out and then decide to return them or decide to keep them. I would be more skeptical about these blocks or isolating the speaker cable if it weren't for the vast improvement that other isolation tweaks have delivered to my systems sonic quality. I'm willling and open into giving them a try but I'm wondering if other products might result in a more noticeable improvement.

I've been having fun so far but the things that I've done are noticeable. Some folk claim that Zebra wood is prefered to Myrtle wood when placing underneath amps, etc... It might be an option to visit the exotic wood section of my local lumber yard but I generally tend to trust audio manufacturers, well at least the smaller ones.

I had forgotten that a friend of mine works for a tobaconist. I called him the other day and he said that he has piles of empty boxes there at the shop. No cost to me, so in a couple of days or so.

I'm wondering if it wouldn't be effective to suspend the cables with string mounted to the ceiling. Audophiles back in the day, were often suspending their turntables from the ceiling.
