Should cable elevators be used?


I read the dictums from Mapleshade and others that speaker cables should be lifted off carpets of synthetic material.
I always had wool carpets but in retirement have moved to a condo covered in synthetic berber,can't say I have noyiced any great change in my 12ft MIT or ZU speaker cables .
What's the general consensus?

The concern I have always understood is static electricity.
If you can generate static electic shock with your wool carpet then use risers. Personally I would use them anyway.
But anything that raises and isolates will work. I use Cable Clamps available at Home Depot and they seem to work fine. Just a suggestion, there are many products that others prefer, I just went with economics and logic when I did it.
