In Reply to: OK, how about them cable risers? posted by Charles Hansen on August 4, 2003 at 20:37:29:
1/ Is it possible carpet fibers vibrating against the speaker cable cause a negative or positive charge in the cable insulator which is ultimately equalized by either the loss or gain of electrons of the speaker cable conductors.2/ Raising the cables off the floor may isolate the the signal from AC lines buried in the joists below.
3/ Flyash is often used as an ingredient in concrete in quantities up to 25% of total mixture or so. Flyash is a by-product of burning coal in power plants and usually contains ferric oxide (5-24%), zinc oxide, magnesium oxide, alumina and an assortment of heavy metals. Is it possible these metals and oxides have a deleterious effect if cables are placed directly on the concrete? I suspect quantities of ferric oxide close to conductors may be an area of interest.
