Tiny bridges everywhere, but why?

As I am getting closer to my first "complete" system, I am starting to research and get opinions on smaller tweaks. The cherries on top, so to speak. The term "smaller" covers the size, cost and possible impact to SQ. 

I do not know what they are called but I am seeing all sorts of devices holding up cables. Don't know why but they remind me of Navy Seals running out of the ocean with a telephone pole over their shoulder...

Thanks to this forum I have learned that everything in some way impacts SQ, so whatever these thingamabobs are called, do they impact SQ or are they a form of cable management? Both? Do materials matter? Am I going to have to splurge on rosewood versions treated with stain containing ash from one of Jerry Garcia's guitars, or could I use old shoes for now to accomplish whatever mission these fulfill?

I could have Googled this topic, but I want to hear from you - Your experience, choices, etc.

I understand and it can be done on the cheap. I wasn't referring to expensive tweaks like IC's and speaker cables. More like component isolation (many cheap options) and improving your power delivery. Research AC receptacles and there are many excellent low-cost power cables available for audition.
These are tweaks that will provide a great return in performance.

Consider these tweaks after you get your streaming and DAC squared away.

What other tweaks have you tried? There are many that are higher than cable lifters on the performance list.
