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!

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....

Hey guys, thanks for the info (Mapman) and the recommendations. I'm not using bricks to elevate my cables, I'm running the cable along a brick hearth (actully under the edge of it so it is pretty hidden. High WAF! The issue is sound quality taking a hit. The other option is along the floor, on a synthetic carpet. That clearly NOT the way to go.
