"Air typically breaks down in this way at around 30,000 volts-per-centimetre depending on humidity.[3] The discharge superheats the surrounding air causing the bright flash, and produces a shockwave causing the clicking sound."
That's why it stings your nose or, if your friends are really sicko, your zipper!

But wait, I read their replies as they mocked the manufacturers statement. I read it in black and white. Surely they must be right and the manufacturer wrong. And Wikipedia? Please!
And that's just how easy it is here in cyberspace. People just trash with nothing to back it up.............like facts. And then of course they would never even try the product, how could they!
As always with anything in audio from speakers to amps to cables and tweaks; either try before you buy or purchase from a place with a full money back return policy.

More on static electricity below
There was a time back, when I worked for a Golf Bag Manufacturer . I happened to work in the Embroidery Dept , where I ran a 15 Head Baradan Embroidery machine ( seven needles per head ).
This Behemoth was 25 foot long and 3 foot wide and was Computer controlled . The nylon material that I embroidered on , would build up static electricity to the point , that during the winter months here in Montana ( low humidity ) the static electricity took out 3 hard drives on the Computer .
We tried anti-static mats, anti-static aerosol sprays . . . we tried the tethered connection from your wrist to the machine . We finally solved Our problem with a Humidifier .
Static Electricity isn't a friend ;-)

buying things that make professional electronic engineers laugh out loud.
who brought us the plague of switching power supplies and RF noise pollution? Or the compressed signals on contemporary CDs?
HEy Al,
I would also add the RCA connection, SPDIF, HDMI from an audio and installation standpoint, and hum (since it seems that there is no grounding standard and some companies don't ground their gear properly).
There would be no RF of any nature except whistlers without professional electronics engineers. Or home audio equipment. Or TV. Or amplified music.
Or talkies. Or computers. Or long distance telephones. Or adaptive fuel injection and anti-lock brakes. Or most aids to navigation. Or talkative toys.
Definitely a mixed bag, but one case of clear innocence is the highly compressed CD. That's a different breed of engineer more closely related to the ones who drive their trains through red lights while text messaging on their cell phones...

That sounds familiar. When I bought HexFreds to replace some stock diodes in a tube preamp, the guys at a Motorola shop roared. 'Won't make a bit of difference because DC is DC and I've been in the business for xx years.' When I went back to buy more, they had a field day! They were told something like 'Why would I waste money to buy them and time to solder them in, if it didn't sound better?'
Now will I try these cable elevators? ....it's really hard to say. Shrug.
Well these cable elevators are more plausible than most of Machina Dynamica's junk. But I doubt they would do any better (if anything)than using a wooden block or some cups to raise the cables off the floor.
Oh boy, this a big subject....let's just say I don't let anyone decide for me regardless of their education. And some of things I've heard out of engineers mouths has been quite laughable. As usual your results may vary...

You got that right! My buddy has been an electronic engineer in the audio business for more than 25yrs, when I show him this stuff, he just shakes his head.
