Should cable elevators be used?


I read the dictums from Mapleshade and others that speaker cables should be lifted off carpets of synthetic material.
I always had wool carpets but in retirement have moved to a condo covered in synthetic berber,can't say I have noyiced any great change in my 12ft MIT or ZU speaker cables .
What's the general consensus?

I like them, they keep static electicity (15000V+) away from my system. Becuase of static I have had to replace blown fuses and tubes as well as componants in some systems I have had.
I keep my house at about 50% humidity. I have let my wiring get out of control during A/C season but correct this before the winter. I just rewired my system and added more lifters for the interconnects. Better to be safe than sorry.
