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

@wyoboy, Shopping tomorrow? I feel for ya. That, and having your birthday so close to Christmas probably made your childhood less satisfying than the other kids who had theirs in, say, summertime.

I hope they work as well for you as they have for me since, after all, it was you that got me thinking about it and then ordering the holders from Ikea. I'll bet Ikea is wondering why those tea candle holders are flying off the shelves.😄

I hope your wife hears the differences as well. That would make for some great dinner conversation. 👍

All the best,
Nonoise

I have found that any benefit of the quieter noise floor from lifting the cables is offset by the noise from the tapping feet of the mice that can't help doing the limbo under the cables.

"The only thing that is obvious is that this is a claim with no merit or factual basis." very strange statement

Actually what I do is all documented and has been since 1989 in High End Audio and back to 1975 in the pro-audio world.

Sometimes you guys get too caught up in your own spins and fail to see that professionals have been on top of the research all along. This is why not many of us (professionals) care to hang around these types of forums for extended periods at a time.

Cheers :-)
