My daughter and I went out to Bonneville Dam today and thought I would see if I could pick up some of these to use as cable risers. Is that going too far?

I personally would love to get some of those old railroad insulators... They would work great and look cool to boot..
Stuff like this: http://m.ebay.com/itm/262359611766

I take a look around eBay every so often for those types of ceramic insulators, but I can never find more than 3-4 that look the same.
I ended up making some risers out of some walnut scrap I had laying around. I didn't hear a difference once I put them in, but my O.C.D. sure likes the look of them. -
That pic of those cables is unreal, I wonder if the actual wire is encased in a plastic drainage pipe with that Styrofoam stuff around it?
I kick myself because I had a few dozen of the bluish-green and clear glass insulators that my dad had gotten when he worked for NY Tel. A lot of them lost their lives on the range, sad to say, but that was well before I ever thought of them for audio purposes... but they did die spectacular deaths!
So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?
