Willco Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Saw these at Bunnings yesterday--pks of 20 or 100! Just the ticket to get those pesky lines off the tarmac without busting the Bank ha! Willco 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eman Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Interestingly (?) it's the reo in reoconcrete that has a weak magnetic field. Don't know if anyone can hear any affect though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevel6868 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Wouldn't you want to wrap them in tin-foil to stop the re-bar magnetism from affecting (or effecting) the sound? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

needlerunner Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 On a serious note. Can you actually hear a difference with cables off the ground? I'm all for cable upgrades, but I'm a bit sceptical on this one. I can't visualize how if you had good quality shielded cable, why you would need to do this. Or am l missing something here? And what if your speaker cable is laying on carpet? Would that not negate the concrete thing anyway? And don't these so called cable raises have to made from wood? Yep, l know, another round of back and forths. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevel6868 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) I'm skeptical although I know otherwise intelligent people who swear they can hear a difference. My theory is the act of bending over to lift the cables caused wax to shift in their ears Edited May 22, 2020 by stevel6868 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However what people do and buy is none of my business either, so if , for some unknown reason, there is a perceived benefit then I wish them well and much happy listening and for $11.50 there is very little to lose unless you walk on them.

t_mike Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 The only way I can see that it would change the sound is when the cable is disconnected when someone trips over them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, l know, another round of back and forths. The theory is that carpet can have static electricity in it that can badly influence the signal going through your cables. To de-bunk this theory I'd say that as the electricity is static, there's actually no current running so there's no magnetic field to create that bad influence. Just put an earth stake through your carpet into the ground and all your problems are solved. Until the missus trips over the stake though, that's when the fighting starts. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloper Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 We sell these at work at various heights, should put a Audiophile price on them. Say $100 each, Bag of 100 for $9999 discounted. regards Bruce 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
