Omega speaker cables

Well, what you're telling me is that when a customer is not in the "orbit" of a Shunyata dealer, you'll be able to find one to work with to obtain Shunyata products, of any kind, though I'm guessing for Altaira will still be a challenge for proper selection and support. Best of luck as you seek out what you need.

Thanks. Yes, my understanding is that Altaira is actually more available with brick and mortar shops than the Omega signal cables, and some kind of consultation process goes on with online orders. (For example: you can find the Altairas at Music Direct, but you can't order them without a phone call)

Excuse me I said cable lifters. That is Mobus Cable Suspension System.

Interesting design. Someone with a 3d printer and enough rubber bands could try this concept at home

Be all means be my guest.

The Omega XLR and Speaker cables only became available for order by dealers within the past week. Altaira has been available for a number of months now. But the process of obtaining them is quite a bit more involved, as you've undoubtedly discovered (the "consultation" process in your case, for online orders, where no "local" dealer is extant). And then there's the new Möbius Cable Suspension System, which appears to be some sort of new configuration of the existing Cable Elevator which is more amenable for long speaker cables. The prior suspension system served shorter and heavier power cables. The new Möbius is clearly better for maneuvering about.

Not me, I'll ask my son if he's interested. It seems like a good learning project as the printed parts should have enough tensile strength and there is room for creativity in the latching mechanism. Plus free cable lifters

DF-SS is not for heavy cables. I would wager Moebius is better suited with 3+2 straps.

I have 18 DF-SS in my setup and those straps are getting longer and less nimble. One snapped right off.

Slow, expensive upgrades. I think i will start with power cables.

Good choice. For others, like us, who would need to ease into this new price bracket, here is what Shunyata recommends:

"As for hierarchy of upgrades, we all agree that the following represents the best course to take:

1. Power - wall first, amps and lastly front-end
2. Speaker cables
3. Analog interconnects"
