Thanks for posting - as you say, the article (and the other topics) make a lot of sense and also are supported by evidence. Of course, we all know that there are audible differences that simply cannot be measured. Well, except in dollars and buzz words, that is.

I thought that kind of thing was measured in inches and the inches compounded along with the dollars spent.
;D

You must be mindful or the golden coefficient in regards to the width of the room and length of the wire.

I exude commen sense. Now, where did I put my speaker wire risers? What kind do you have? I ask because I've developed the next generation of speaker wire risers and they will render all others obsolete. I use a special process, laminating maple, mahogany, and walnut, with bloodwood spacers and a special glue. This is guaranteed to absolutely eradicate vibrations and ensure that the the full signal range arrives at your speakers and reveals a soundstage so expansive that you'll need to buy a bigger house. The feet are diamond-tipped platinum spikes specially engineered to isolate your risers from any type of floor. The result is a mind-blowing blend of velvety highs and chocolate mids (dark or milk, depending on your tastes—for dark, I use ebony instead of bloodwood) and the ultimate in bass extension. Depth and clarity and detail are unrivaled in any riser at any price. For best results, I recommend that you use these excellent risers in conjunction with my snake-oil cooled, braided, fifty-conductor gold speaker wires. Special introductory price for these must-have risers is $599 each, ($799 for bi-wire risers, which feature extra layers of lamination and must be carefully matched for density and color) a steal in the high-end audio world!

Are they directional with little arrows painted on them?

No good without arrows. The current might flow the wrong way.

Bloodwood? Are you guys serious? That stuff is one one of the only woods that can actually combine "graininess" with "murkiness" in the sound. Grainy mud. Yin and Yang combined to make "Yuk". Took me 5 seconds to hear that, and even the neighbors hated it. Now if we were talking about Suriname Snakewood....I might be listening. This isn't the little leagues fellas...

You guys are all crazy. For one thing, NO speaker riser is going to be all that good because no matter what, you have something that is lifting up the cord from the ground and that something is still touching the ground. So it is being a conduit for evil gremlin things to go from the carpet to your cable. My solution is to HANG threads from the ceiling with a loop at the bottom and you run the speaker cable through those loops. That way nothing is touching the carpet. Plus, gremlins cannot walk up walls so they have no business being on the ceiling. And my solution is only $100 per thread, a lot cheaper than that ineffective thing you propose. So nyah. ;D

porkies i tell ya porkies i say..
sounds like someone has been reading the boffin mags again and think's the sun shines out of the article writers *bleep*..
given 95% of speakers are made from mdf you wouldn't really be able to tell the sonic difference between them all..
now if you were to use a hardwood you may notice something...
now compare 8 gauge, 12 gauge, 16 gauge and 20 gauge speaker wire..
i reckon the the thicker the gauge the better the signal retention you get, which may or may not improve your sound ten fold

If I misunderstand you, please forgive me! But, while there could be something legitimate with regards to the gauge & construction of interconnects & speaker wires (they carry data / information). There is no connection to data with a power cord.

all are inter-related..
as for power cables anything thicker than your thumb will likely be bordering on 3-phase use not single phase use..

Well, I might like to try a few but it depends??? Is shipping included?? ;D We ship all our risers via interstellar light-speed courier, free of charge. Are they directional with little arrows painted on them? Little painted arrows are available for an additional $49, in a choice of colors to match you listening room. I`ve seen those they don`t have arrows but they do have L and R on them Ah, those are our special balanced L/R risers, which are our flagship model and currently back-ordered. Bloodwood? Are you guys serious? That stuff is one one of the only woods that can actually combine "graininess" with "murkiness" in the sound. Grainy mud. Yin and Yang combined to make "Yuk". Took me 5 seconds to hear that, and even the neighbors hated it. Now if we were talking about Suriname Snakewood....I might be listening. This isn't the little leagues fellas... After extensive testing, we determined that Suriname Snakewood didn't offer a tubey enough sound and while the bloodwood spaced risers, if combined with certain electronics or speakers, do indeed take on a bit of murk, those types of electronics and speakers were just too low-end for our discriminating customers and the bloodwood spacers offered all the clarity and detail those audio connoisseurs who truly appreciate a transcendent, high-end experience, where money is no object, could possibly desire. You guys are all crazy. For one thing, NO speaker riser is going to be all that good because no matter what, you have something that is lifting up the cord from the ground and that something is still touching the ground. So it is being a conduit for evil gremlin things to go from the carpet to your cable. My solution is to HANG threads from the ceiling with a loop at the bottom and you run the speaker cable through those loops. That way nothing is touching the carpet. Plus, gremlins cannot walk up walls so they have no business being on the ceiling. And my solution is only $100 per thread, a lot cheaper than that ineffective thing you propose. So nyah. ;D This is pure placebo, plain and simple. It is the hypnotic effect caused by the blue lights of your gear refracting/reflecting from the strands of your wire/thread/line that induce the belief that your sound quality has improved. By the way, these special risers will be on sale through the end of May for an additional .00000000001% off! Don't miss out on this once in a lifetime pricing! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
