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

Actually, putting a drumkit on a riser drastically effects it’s sound, and some recording studios do so for that very reason. But not as much so as where in relation to the walls the kit is placed. Avoid at all costs cinderblock walls, as I learned at one studio in North Hollywood. Too close to one made the sound all "phasey" (think "Itchycoo Park"). Out as far as possible into the room is a good rule of thumb.

Interesting timing. 

I'm of the mind it really isn't going to change things in the slightest. But, I'm game to see. 

I ordered a set of fuses and when I got the invoice it said congratulations we're sending you a free set of cable risers for free.

Box is delayed somewhere between here and Philly so gonna have to wait longer to hear for myself. 

Wondering if my box would have been ontime if it was raised off the floor of the truck? 

I have found that any sonic benefit of raising the cables is negated by the irritating noise made by the mice feet when they do the limbo under the cables.

audiozenology"Carpets are often made of one of those "fancy" dielectrics, i.e. polypropylene, and polyethylene, and because it is a open weave"

Here is another topic where you are confused, misinformed, or else are trying to deceive. Polypropylene is very rarely used in carpet manufacturing because it has very poor wear qualities it’s most common use is for a "turf" or grass-like carpet which may be what you have in you’re living room but that is not most people’s taste it is much more common to see nylon as the fabric "of choice." Polyethylene would be used for an outdoor carpet not an indoor one.

Neither are these floor coverings "open weave" because they are not woven like a fine rug made from wool, silk, or cotton but rather they are "tufted" and this is true of a "commercial" type "loop" carpet which is continuous filament and also true of carpets with a real pile which is called "cut pile."


"Of course a worse dielectric than wood and much worse than carpet would be porcelain what those cable insulators are typically made of."

If they are such poor insulators why do electric utilities around the world use them maybe they have acquired, assembled, and studied more data, knowledge and research than you?
