Hi Andy,

No I have not tried their stuff yet. I have talked to them over the phone, and at some point I will try them.

I have been experimenting with this for a while. My studio is acoustically treated, with no primary reflections, so you tend to be able to hear subtle effects more accutely.

I tried (on someones recommendation) putting my speaker cables on top of supports to raise them off the floor. I made my own out of paper coffee cups. Now the ineresting thing, was not that this made a sonic difference, but that it made my system unstable. Moving these cups around even by a millimeter was like moving controls on a graphic equalizer. I would spend hours trying to get the sound right, then it would all fall apart. My cables now rest on the floor.

Another thing I have experimented with is using blue tac to stick cables to the wooden floor, for some cables, this works a treat, whilst for others it is a disaster.

Of course non of this has been verified double blind 

Unfortunately I missed the Vertex room at the show, so I did not get to see their cables. Can you tell me what their boxes look like, and any idea what is in them. What I want to know, is whether something can be designed and built that can be applied to other cables?
