ULTRALITE CABLE SPREADERS The first instinct of any audiophile who wants a nice-looking system is to neatly bundle that mess of wires behind their equipment. DON'T DO IT! Bundling hurts the good sound of those cables you paid all that money for. Every wire in a bundle has a field around it (even shielded wires) that induces currents in all its neighbors, currents that distort the music waveforms in signal wires, add jitter to digital data wires, and introduce unwanted noise to power wires. Don't despair: correct wire management can help rather than hinder good sound. The following four simple rules tell you how: • Don't run wires-speaker cables, ICs or power cords-close and parallel to each other for more than a few inches; they'll "talk" to each other, causing muddy, smeared, edgy sound. To avoid sonic degradation, keep parallel wires separated by at least 6" wherever possible. • Try not to run any wires near plastic (or ungrounded metal) surfaces, e.g. artificial fiber rugs or curtains, plastic tiles, linoleum, laminate wood floors, plastic moldings/wallpaper, urethane varnished floors, etc. If possible, keep wires at least 8" from plastic (or ungrounded metal) of any significant mass. These plastics are invariably terrible-sounding dielectrics. • Avoid using plastic cable ties, plastic sheathing, plastic braid, or plastic conduit to hold, support or protect wires. Instead, use good sounding dielectrics like string (cotton or silk), thin polypropylene tape, or thin wood (preferably maple) to hang/support wires. • Non-parallel wires--that is, those crossing at angles of 45 degrees or more-don't need to be separated: they can even touch at the crossing point without sonic harm. Our Ultralite Cable Spreaders gently clip onto cables, interconnects, and AC cords in order to separate them—without weighing them down. 30-Day Money Back. Installation Tips: Cable Spreaders are designed to be light enough to not affect even our lightest and thinnest wires-Clearview Digitals, Clearview Ribbon Interconnects and Omega Mikro Planar Interconnects and Planar Speaker Cables. At the same time, they are strong enough to be used with conventional thick interconnects and speaker cables. Simply spread the "jaws" at each end to clip onto the wires being separated.
