Designed in Great Britain, Panda Feet can improve the sound quality of your system.  Unlike basic Ayre or Cardas wood blocks, these lifts are well finished and designed to keep speaker cables from shifting by employing cut channel for round cables and another channel for ribbon cables, like Nordost.   The bamboo wood is said to help dispense with vibrations that can blur the sound.  All I know is that lifts do help focus the sound, and make images more present and real.   OFFERED FOR SALE WITH FULL REFUND WITHIN 1 WEEK OF DELIVERY, LESS ACTUAL SHIPPING COSTS, IF NOT SATISFIED FOR ANY REASON.  

I no longer need because of several recent system changes, including new power supply, grounding devices, and a new USB cable.  Purchase includes 8 bamboo block and 4 Panda Feet cable ties.  Measurements:  2 1/4" square x 1 1/2" tall.  Cable channel is 3/4" wide for round/oval design; 1/8" for ribbon type cables.  Audio Vision in San Francisco sells Panda Feet for $50 per block.  

Here is a brief description from "The Beat" audio magazine:   Inspired by the frustrations of wrestling with Nordost cables, the resulting solution is actually universal. The secret lies in the weight that comes from the dense, laminated bamboo, the audio industry’s new natural wonder material. Normally, weight would be a bad thing, but in this case the highly dispersive nature of the laminated, fibrous material more than compensates. The resulting block is heavy enough to stay put and offers enough contact area to keep hold of the cable. One side features a deep slot, nominally used for Nordost cables -- but as Nordost owners will attest, the cable rarely sits perfectly vertical. So the other side offers a deep trough that will work equally well with conventional tubular cables or ribbons sitting at an angle. Even with six-meter Odins, I can lift a pair of speaker cables with ten or twelve Panda Feet.

But best of all, once elevated the cables stay put. Since installing them, I’ve not suffered a single inadvertent or unscheduled collapse -- and that’s saying something! Considering just how often the cables in my system(s) are disconnected, have their positions adjusted or get stepped over or round, that’s little short of a miracle. Previously, the slightest contact could instigate catastrophic downfall. Now I glory in newfound security -- one less thing to worry about. Sonically the Panda Feet are actually rather better than the Ayre blocks, with a subtle but consistent benefit in terms of dynamic jump and instrumental focus, although whether that’s because of the materials, the way they support the cable or the fact that they lift it a little higher, I have no clue.

Panda Feet will work just as effectively with other more conventional cables. I’ve used them with products from Chord, Cardas and Hovland, all with considerable success.
