By whom? I've been using cable risers since having a batch made a while ago.

Was a little difficult to use cable lifters with in-wall speaker cables.

Tad, tad surprised that cable lifters haven't been considered here. You said the above, to which I correctly answered yes, I have, and implemented a while ago. Did Enid Lumley write for The Absolute Sound? In which case, I vaguely remember a female loon attaching stickers to taps and things. |

True. I was going to come back to see if it was individuals here you were referring to. I just couldn't remember reading of anyone here investigating them.
Couldn't have been a total loon - then! 40 years later you have folks describing an obvious improvement with the idea.

Has anybody tried using RFI tape applied to power cord plugs, interconnect plugs or stuck on equipment casing?
I came across a thread on another forum about AliExpress cables and there’s people experimenting with grounding boxes and RFI tape too.
The tape is quite expensive(for tape), I ordered a 3 meter roll for £11 on Amazon to see what it’s like.

First time I've heard of it
Let us know how it performs then maybe we all jump on the Matt bandwagon !

I've used ferrite RFI sticky sheets before.
Same idea, I guess.

Is it ok to post a link to the thread on head-fi here so you can have a read? There’s plenty of pictures too, some are horrifying.

RFI tape on the grounding box was interesting.

The AliExpress tape appears to be just £1.51 for 20 metres.

RFI tape on the grounding box was interesting. We’ll have to leave that one for you to try. Did you see the diy grounding boxes a few pages on? |

Actually looking at it more closely they have a huge range of widths to choose from - wonder what would be best for power cables?

Post by mattspl on Jan 14, 2023 19:56:06 GMT
I ordered 1 inch width off Amazon. It will arrive tomorrow, although I won’t try it until my speakers are back and I’m used to them again.
It looks like people are using 2 inch on head-fi
