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

Honestly,  I have no idea as to whether or not there is a tangible,  sonic benefit from raising them off the floor,  but all of the techinical and scientific evidence I have consumed says that it is a good idea.  So I do.  It just makes sense to me.

I also use platforms for my equipment,  never stacking one piece atop another like I did in high school/college.  I read about vibration affecting sound in negative ways,  so I bought platforms. 


These are the most simple "tweaks" one can employ for attaining better sound, and they're pretty cheap.
