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

Not a big deal, but not all audiophiles have endless funds, and they read forums like these to find out where to spend them. Most never post. Reading of forums far exceeds participation.

Wouldn't you rather people who are interested in audio have the best experience they can with the money they have?   Why do all these claims breaks down so quickly when eyes are removed from the equation?

I don't see what the big deal is on these types of topics. Some can hear it, some can't and some think this is a very important, and variable, part of the audio chain.

enough for everyone

Weird that someone would bring up the subject of money on this particular thread since it’s not really a money issue. It’s whether you buy into the concept or not. All it takes is a little imagination. As has been pointed out many times, even on this thread, there are free solutions available to anyone. Even someone who lives in a treehouse. It’s threads like this that illuminate the large schism that exists between the average Joe Blow and advanced audiophiles. No offense to anyone in particular.

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.
