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 don't start a CD until I've paused the track rather than stopping it and then pressing play.  Tom Port of Better Records demonstrated the difference about 14 years ago  After I began using my Walker Talisman about 13 years ago, the difference was diminished, usually I can't tell the difference between stop/play and pause play once I do the pause/play from the first track on the disc.
I was thinking about trying SR UEF Cable Risers next. I found the SR Blackbox sucked the life out of recordings by cutting off frequencies above 8Khz. The UEF Cable Riser demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVIKxulyLNY may indicate a similar negative loss of highs/openess effect using a type of ECT on each riser, or they may just focus the sound better without losing the highs and openess.  I will have to try it in my listening room to see if it's a keeper or a loser.
