Zar .. Common thread here. "Nay sayers" and proponents.
1 major distinction in the diagnostic is whether you have a system of sufficient finesse or sonics to distinguish the benefit.
Personally I recognized the science for the benefit (by way of 1/4" static zaps) but I chose to experiment w/the wooden 2x4" model on carpet .. works great! Is 4" to high or to low? Got wooden floors? maybe entirely different. All I know some aspects sounded better with the cables lifted and oriented with some thought to signal paths.
NaySayers quoting science simply are ill informed about the simple electro dynamics of carpet static (again wood floors not tried).
Proponents often forget that while "tweaks" make a difference, we often forget that the person we may be responding to is trying to milk the most out of an Optimus?Radio Shack receiver & speakers (vs a BAT/Essence super system).
BUT the enthusiasm/pursuit for better musical enjoyment is no different .. as I journeyed thru Sylvania, Pioneer, Vector Research, SAE, VSP Labs, Counterpoint etc, each step had more critical signal paths that respond to delicate changes in signal.
Those changes (along with alittle wine, a great recording) and badabada bing you got a great listening session that leaves you smiling inside.
