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

We must think alike, I did the same thing, next step is to use Foster's 25oz cans, I know I know a bit more expensive but it really ups the game!


@nonoise RE:...

I ordered some of those Ikea tea light holders from Ikea and am getting 12 for $11
I like your style - I went to the Dollar Store and bought a couple of sets of children’s wooden Alphabet blocks - $6 for two sets of 15 blocks.
- I stuck some craft sticks on the sides to stop the cables sliding off - an additional $3
- And a 2" tile from a bathroom project as the base - just to stabilize them
- worked like a charm

I didn’t know if it would do anything positive but as it turns out
- one of my cheapest tweaks to date - that worked :-)
