FWIW I've used 25 and 15 ft runs of IC's on hardwood floors, at base boards on the room boarders and on/under carpets. In the air and on the floor surfaces. I've never detected any reason to prefer using lifts for IC's. But, everything else being equal, it was easy to distinguish the difference between those two runs of identical IC's which I assume was due to lengths. Maybe my stuff doesn't have high enuf resolution to reveal the benefits. :-)
do you need to elevate interconnects?
Many audiophiles and dealers recommend elevating speaker cable off of the floor or carpet for optimal sound.
Is the same true for longer interconnects runs? Will running an interconnect along the floor tend to injure sound quality?
On a related note, is it a mistake to run interconnects under the carpet or along base boards/trim?
Your thoughts most appreciated.
