Lifting speaker cables


Does lifting the speaker cables off the carpeting really make a difference? I'd like your opinions before going through the process. Thanks, Matt.

Please!!!!!!!!! Lifting cables is %$#@!@ and has no effect on "tonality" or any other facet of sound. I mean, really folks.
While I have heard a slight but audible improvement when isolating interconnects from floor-induced vibrations, I have found no really noticeable improvement from lifting the speaker cables, at least with my current cables. If you're going to try any isolators, make sure they will isolate the cables from vibrations and try it on ICs.
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.

I got rid of a hum when I lifted my Harmonic Tech Pro 9s off the carpet using ceramic cable isolators. I got no difference at all when I used the same lifters with signal cable brand products. Go figure!
