I know I have lost my mind and have gone insane

I put my speaker interconnects up on a couple of boards tonight as a test because I have read that cable lifters change the sound, and did it ever!!! They look like a couple of sine waves behind my speakers. Believe me that I am very familiar with the sound of my system, and this was a profound change.
Before the sound was full and warm (too much so) with incredible bass, and after propping up the cables the sound was cleaner, clearer, more detailed, the upper bass warmth was gone (more natural)and there was more emotion in the system.
Now please someone, explain this to me PLEASE!!

Same effect found not just wid carpet but other materials. Capacitance store energy and release, energy induced into conductor. Release time constant, but time when discharge reach signal carrying cable depend on distance from dialetcric (carpet) and conductor. So effect is time smear. Long distance is bad result. Shorter distance, prefer less than 4 inch is best result. All this observe with test instrument.
Now I go put head in ice block.
