I saw those at a few boutiques.
Being a formwork carpenter, and knowing the rebar mats in concrete are grounded, I asked the salesman if the idea was to move the cables further away from a potential em field from all that steel. He said huh?
I may install some anyways. I could pretend they're powerlines, while I'm Godzilla stomping around, on movie night.

Hah!
I see these every dsy at work, but never thought about using them at home.
Look out puny power lines!
Godzilla is coming for YOU!
I dunno Max. The carbon content in cheap plastic gizmos like that can be significant. And carbon, as we all know, is a conductive material so a current will be induced in them from the changing electromagnetic field surrounding the speaker cable suspended on the stand. This will change the spin of the quarks within the polycrystalline structure of the speaker cable conductor resulting in an unforetold degradation of sonic purity.
Thankfully, there is a SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN way to eliminate this effect: Cryo treatment. Thus, if you're going to use those cheap plastic gizmos for speaker cable stands I highly recommend throwing them in the freezer overnight. This effect is good for the play of one song only. 😀

You guys are shooting the messenger.
The pic I gave is for information for those who may want to try cable supports economically instead of the silly prices charged for 'audiophile' cable supports.

Gentlemen please, these come approved by the JC posse.

I am clearly bound for audio hell as all my cables are in plastic conduit against the wall until they emerge for the last dash. The gain in brownie points was worth it.
I dunno, Scott. Those look like pine or maybe fir. EVERYBODY knows that ONLY Oregonian Myrtlewood is acceptable for speaker cable stands. The electron spin in other kinds of wood is just not up to the standards of the discerning audiophile.

Hasbro claims hardwood, the discussion was years ago and I recall an actual species was identified. I thought it was funny that the OP mentioned weeks later that a "popular children's game" made a reasonable substitute for the pricy Chardas originals, I was just joking.
Oregonian Myrtlewood, the rarest wood it is not (~$7 a BF).
project wood in myrtle maple and walnut for gunstock blanks, clocks, mantles, tables and bowl turning

Well at least we can attribute some real world changes when elevating speaker wires. The magnetic field will be changed. The mechanics will be changed, like tension and bending and vibration.
Of course "changed" is not the same as significant in any audible way.
But at least we don't need to enter the Twilight Zone and these changes can tested for (in a controlled manner) although I doubt anyone will ever do this.

How much of an improvement is there using the Gold edition when compared to the standard version?
It states only 20 blocks are real gold with the remainder being ' fools gold ' , sounds like a prime candidate for blind testing 🙂
Lol i just saw the Q & A page for the gold set , first question ' is it noisy ? ' , answer
' a little ' maybe not a high end product after all 😀

..i agree, no bigger joy, like growing own tongue-burner Bhut Jolokia 😉 interesting exotic fruit flavour a fraction of second - before the magma explodes
i am curious about trinidad scorpion seeds.. that should rip a$$ in half..
