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

Perhaps it's time to invest in a new smoker and bbq sauce... : )

This one has never revealed itself as sounding better.

I hate to be the one to bring this up but there appears to be an awful lot outliers here.

@geoffkait   Are you surprised? ...   : )

@geoffkait   Geoff, your thoughts on using anti-static wipes or similar products? Thanks.

From What HiFi "Keeping Cables Off The Floor"...can someone elaborate on Why 'loose power socket connections'?  Thanks.

"Not convinced? Consider this: companies like Naim are incorporating looser power connectors in all of their standalone hi-fi components for this exact reason. These are designed to minimise unwanted vibrations before they get in to the product and cause mischief. Next time you head to your dealership and plug in some pricey hi-fi kit, when the power socket on the unit feels a little loose, it's not because it's shoddily made."
