Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference?

My cables are laying on the floor (in a mess), would raising them off the floor really make much of a difference? The problem is they are quite wide and too long  http://mgaudiodesign.com/planus3.htm so any suggested props are appreciated!  Cheers

I haven’t blind tested my CJ amps.
If you please: What’s your point?
I have blind tested some items, not others ...
Thanks for clarifying. I really wasn't trying to make any point at all, I truly didn't understand what seemed to be conflicting statements.

I love the sound of my CJ tube amplification ... Never done a "blind test" ...  I swoon over the sound of my "crazy expensive" (to the average joe), cartridge etc. No talk of blind testing, all subjective.
That's quite a surprise, given what I thought was your faith in blind testing.
Whereas I have used the subjectivist paradigm and also pushed myself outside of it to question my own beliefs and perceptions, by trying blind testing, and acknowledging the technical arguments against some of the claims made ...
Prof, here you state that you have engaged in blind testing.

Some would say it is more akin to religion. Lacking understanding or knowledge, one will make up an explanation to fill in the gaps.
There are also fundamentalist zealots, who insist their infallible sacred texts reveal all the truths that are to be known.

... if your ears can hear a change then that MUST MEAN the audio waveform coming out of the speakers has changed ...So, when someone claims big things.. I say show me the measurement.  NOT a subjective impossible to quantify..
This is a hobbyist's group - not  a scientific group - so while you can ask others to do measurements for you, it's not likely that many will comply. Of course, you're free to conduct your own measurements, and then share the results with us.
Science.  Engineering.  Not subjective opinions.
This is a hobbyist's group, so opinions are welcome here.

Why do all these claims breaks down so quickly when eyes are removed from the equation?
I haven't seen any evidence that "all these claims breaks down so quickly when eyes are removed from the equation."

Your claim seems essentially impossible to prove.
