Lifting speaker cables

Maybe they make a difference, I don't know. However, I'll ask you to look at the pictures from various audio shows (CES). How many of the mfgr's are using cable lifters when showcasing their equipment? All, some, none, few? I don't know if Dave Wilson uses them at shows, but if he thought it would make his speakers sound better, don't you think he would use them and recommend them for use when you purchased a pair of his speakers? Think of the rooms at CES, can you have more static-inducing foot traffic? Just some questions I have regarding cable lifters.

Please!!!!!!!!! Lifting cables is %$#@!@ and has no effect on "tonality" or any other facet of sound. I mean, really folks.

Used "Hi-Ball Rocks" glasses sound best especially after a drink! :)

Yes, lifting the speaker cables off the floor often times make a very audible improvement. But it's also like bi-wiring a speaker.

It has everything to do with the type of cable, the resolution of the system, the ears of the listener, the height of the lift, and perhaps the type of carpet.

Just because somebody does not hear a difference does not necessarily mean there are any shortcomings. But then again not hearing any audible improvements may have everything to do with one or more shortcomings.
