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

When we at RMAF this year, there was an A/B demo in the Synergistic Research room of having the cable lifters in and then out.  There was an immediate collapse in the soundstage when they were removed.  So the wild card in this demo was that the lifters also included an HFT as part of the lifter.  Was it the lifter or the HFT?

That being said just, prop the cables up for a few days and see if you notice a difference.  When I had ribbon cables I made some wooden lifters that were really cheap, looked nice and were easy to make.  PM me if you want a picture.
