content: Don't forget to use cable elevators. Regardless of make or model, all cables create some form of electrical field around them.  In free air, the field is a roughly cylindrical shape around the girth of the cable.  However, when cables are placed on a boundary, such as a floor, the field becomes compressed, distorting the signal. Cable Elevators restore this field by raising the cable up, allowing the cable to deliver an undistorted signal. Cable Elevators are electrically inert, so they won't cause phase issues and because of their physical mass, Cable Elevators are able to provide a small measure of resonance damping on longer runs. Edit: /s because it seems people don't get it.
