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

prof

I love the sound of my CJ tube amplification ... Never done a "blind test" ...  I swoon over the sound of my "crazy expensive" (to the average joe), cartridge etc. No talk of blind testing, all subjective.

That's quite a surprise, given what I thought was your faith in blind testing.

Whereas I have used the subjectivist paradigm and also pushed myself outside of it to question my own beliefs and perceptions, by trying blind testing, and acknowledging the technical arguments against some of the claims made ...

Prof, here you state that you have engaged in blind testing.

Dunno, but I use those white ceramic dishes made for corn on the cob cuz they are inexpensive and shaped just right for holding cables.

Thanks Nonoise.

Yes it is ceramic tile all through.
There is a large rug in the center that the Maggie's hug the back edge of but ALL cables are on the tiles except maybe 6 inch of speaker cable as it meets the Maggie's.
Possibly one riser right there for each speaker?
And as that is directly behind each speaker they could be as ugly as sin as nobody will see them.
Cheap enough to test for sure.

Do you have a link for those Ikea tea light holders?

I was gone for three minutes and pages and pages of prof musing.  I don't know.  Is it musing or just ranting ... hmmm ...  

@uberwaltz, here is the link I used: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/vaesnas-tealight-holder-clear-glass-60259096/

All the best,
