Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference?
My conclusion is prof exists in another dimension that comprises of all that is the total of the cybersphere.  His postings encompass all postings.  One poster is only one part of his existence (or dimension).

I was gone for three minutes and pages and pages of prof musing.  I don't know.  Is it musing or just ranting ... hmmm ...

SkyWalker: "I don’t believe it".Yoda: "That’s why you failed".Even better than cable risers is no riser at all like this: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/27HlB3_bvVY/hqdefault.jpg I am waiting for cable levitators.

@andy2 .........................mine are in a 15 by 18 room. The bass is adjustable and the speakers are only 6 1/2 inches wide in front and around 10 inches in the rear.  They take up no more space than a pair of stand mounted speakers. OK, b... 
Considering the option of "DSP speakers"
Most people have never been to China. Most people have never set foot in a Chinese factory let alone many Chinese factories. Those people write things such as this which are founded in ignorance. That is not to say things are perfect there, obvi...

I can't match prof word for word, since he already retires but I still have to earn money, so anyway, to save time, I plagiarize ... errrrr ... I mean paraphrase from a book.In this book, there was a "real" story about a get together, or a convent...

Golden Ear Triton Reference Ins’t that too big for his listening space? For 10K, I suppose he can buy a nice pair of petite monitors. He’ll gain quality as well as a more appropriate sound pressure for what he characterized as a "smallish listeni...

Robert Frost proved that both fire and ice will end up with you dead.  That means both snake oil and believers will end up dead.  I guess my choice would be the less painful one or does it even matter - either way you're dead.Hm ... is there a pil...

So is it a cloud?  Hey may be it's pre heliocentric universe?  Like watching soccer but you can't see the ball.Maybe it's true there's an audiophile Darth Vader that created an empire for all the snake oils to thrive.  How else can you explain it?...

Hey, if this thread going on long enough, Mr. geoffkait might turn into a poet - like Mark Twain part II.  At least there's a plus of all the back and forth.  Regardless, my right ear is fairly deaf above 7KHz, so I have an inherent bottle-neck so...

It seems like the believers are having an upper hands at the moment.  The snake oil camp is having a break.  Sort of like the bulls vs. bears on the stock market.Hey, maybe this thread is good for stock picking.  I need to find a correlation.  So ... 
Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference?
That is why I think blind testing should be used more often. Can the dielectric effect of the floor on a cable induce a large enough fraction of a micro-volt to hear in the speakers? I do not claim some things could never make a difference one can... 
Considering the option of "DSP speakers"
Along the line of DSP, I stopped by a dealer a couple of days ago, and he got some top-end room correction software and He gave me a demo but although in some sense it does sound "good", but again the treble just don’t sound right, it’s like the t...
