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

There is one obvious difference with raising cables off the floor, and that's the fact that once that's done, they're off the floor.
Vibration is part of music, or is in fact what music IS really. Since many can't get away from this music thing messing with your cables and components to a degree that causes symptoms of elitism, maple worship, and sad component isolation and cable embarrassment ("Please sir, take me off of this toilet paper roll."), any audio freak worth their status as Esteemed One Who Knows What Clearly You Don't, or EOWKWCYD, should remedy these stultifying issues by simply keeping  your components away from music. Leave it off...it still looks great just sitting there...dust it once in a while.
My hardwood floors ARE the cable risers as they keep my speaker cables from being in the basement, and since I have certified (by a panel of experts) superb hearing, I absolutely hear a difference between my current speaker cables and the ones in the basement as the ones in the basement aren't hooked up to anything...they're in a box...just sitting there. I do however want to meet the person using toilet paper rolls as speaker risers, and wonder how he got his mom to allow that...I guess she thought he looked lonely and somewhat delusional.
