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 tried this years ago when I first bought expensive cables at the advice of the salesman. I never noticed a difference then, tried it a couple of times since still never heard a difference. This always seemed  to me as one of the more questionable notions in the tweak universe.

Static electricity is an issue when you walk across your carpet in low humidity and touch something metal how is it an issue for a cable that’s insulated just laying there or do you rub you cables over the carpet fast causing friction trying to discharge some static?

I mentioned the yarn to my wife she wondered which would work best, cotton, wool, acrylic, silk, bamboo, hemp, linen or a blended?
