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


My cables are laying on the floor (in a mess), would raising them off the floor really make much of a difference? The problem is they are quite wide and too long  http://mgaudiodesign.com/planus3.htm so any suggested props are appreciated!  Cheers

@ prof:  Glad you found a teammate--through my life that was the most important thing !
But your life can also be validated by those who disagree...so everyone's a teammate--just some are JV...
Sure it does.   Honest...

I ran out of gas. I... I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts! 

Get those things on the ceiling to make sure the electrons have a clear path over the special silver-chrome-molybdenum-steel banana plugs with the special gold set screws down to those titanium drivers in that specially laminated under 36.4 lbs of pressure teak/walnut/oak box.

Well, that's what the electrons TOLD me, anyway.

Merry Christmas, pal.
Whoa! Hey, what the ding dong was that?! Somebody celebrating a little early with the Schnapps?

Might work, might not. Only way to know is to try. I did ,and it made no difference.

i spray my cables down with anti static spray ever couple days, and that makes for cleaner sounding music. And it likely does about the same thing as raising cables is supposed to do.

I also so shut off my power conditioner when i’m not using it, and reboot my modem every couple of days (my system is server-based), and run a demag track every two days. Same general purpose. Music just sounds smoother, more lifelike, less grainy, more open. Like cable lifting is supposed to do.

Everything you you try is going to be system and room dependent. Even when something makes a difference, it might well not be a good difference. And even good differences are almost certainly going to be incremental" there are no magic bullets out there.

>>>>There are at least a few reasons why some audiophiles don’t get the results they were expecting, not all of which are flattering to the audiophile. Also, magnetism is not one of the reasons why cables should be lifted off the floor. Vibration is one of the reasons, though.
