I had build an electric fence to prevent my cat from pis.ing in the plants with a flip flop and a car electronic ignition. It worked very well.Yes... that works well.... We hooked one to a sig gen and the HV side to a door handle many years ago as a joke... Not a good idea, it turned out!
(Disclaimer: No animals were mistreated, he died at> 18 years old and Milou is still alive, but, don't play with this, if you don't know what you are doing.)

That reminds me of my boyhood days when I purchase practical joke items mail order from Ellisdons Joke Factory.as a joke... Not a good idea, it turned out!
Who can remember black face soap, magic soot, joke spiders, joke matches, imitation ink blots etc. etc.?
And there was a buzzer which you concealed in your hand to give your friend a 'shock' when you shook hands with him!
My favourite purchase was the Seebackroscope.

Indeed, debunking audiofoolery, cable lifters and such, is definitely a vain effort.

Some may like the looks of it.

No way, Poly Styrene was great.
I personally don't use cable lifters for practical reasons, but I see nothing wrong with using them, and I can see why they might make a difference. What do you guys care?
How do they make a difference?
I'm still holding out for a Direct Drive model.Happy retirement!
I've changed the belt on a Van de Graff generator - does that count?
Depends on the construction quality of the connectors. Big heavy cables will exert great force on them. Cable lifter will reduce the force.How do they make a difference?
