Brick or Carpet?

For those of you that think that elevating speaker cable off of the floor is a good idea (as I think I do) --

if that is not possible, which would be preferable, running the speaker cables along brick, or along carpet? Or are they about equally bad? Your thoughts most appreciated.

thanks!

Brick is preferable.

This would be what I expect. Any thoughts on the reasoning? If the cable lifters that you can buy are made of ceramic, that is pretty similar to brick. Of course the goal is to have the cable suspended for the most part, but if I run along brick will it really degrade sound quality? I have tried some A/Bing here, and I'm not sure what I am hearing, if anything....

If you can use brick you should be able to use Telephone Pole insulators..I use the ones with the groove built in and they work great and are cheap..I see them at Flee Markets,Garage sale,Antique shops..As cheap as $2 each for the small size...I you need pictures e-mail me off line and I can send e-mail you some............
