Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference?

Why do all these claims breaks down so quickly when eyes are removed from the equation?

I haven't seen any evidence that "all these claims breaks down so quickly when eyes are removed from the equation."

Your claim seems essentially impossible to prove.

There it is! Blind testing raises its ugly head, again. Not much of a surprise, you know, with all these Ethans running around rampant. 😬

It's a relatively cheap tweak to try out for yourself. Just get a Jenga set at a garage sale or cut a 1x2 furring strip into 2" lengths.

you dont know high end sound without cable risers.

mwhahaha

The best cable riser demonstration was at a show several years ago, perhaps RMAF. As I entered the room the demonstrator was using a foam-ish cable riser, I believe of Shunyata make, and rubbing it against the top of a CD. It was being used as an anti-static device. It worked to some degree, better than as a cable riser.
