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

@andy2 --

As a matter of curiosity, would you be humbling if you didn’t see any difference?

Not sure I follow what you’re after, but I was merely using an example in a presumably related field to show my willingness to accept an effect of cable risers - easy they may be to ridicule. We’re chasing sonic bliss sometimes throwing thousands of dollars after hardware, only to find out that cheap accessories can have a bigger impact. By that I’m not saying hardware upgrades can’t be justified, only that other areas concerning their optimization can have a significant say as well.

If, hypothesized, I didn’t experience any pronounced difference in sound using the Ringmat domes I probably wouldn’t have posted..

So if one decides to go with cable risers, how long is the break-in period?

how long is the break-in period?

Theoretically, the break-in process is open-ended that is the cables continue to break-in as if "infinitely", that is again theoretically.  Practically, though it depends on one's system and one's hearing.

Good one..

Not sure if that is snark, but I'll bite. 🦈

For me, the effect was practically immediate. It could be due to the nature of my synthetic carpet, the weather, or more but just using some small glass jars to raise the cables did the trick.

I've listened to a few more CDs and love what I'm hearing.
No need for fancy stuff.

All the best,
