Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference?
I don’t take sides, I run independent. You don’t have to be the fastest wildebeest on the Kalahari, just faster than the slowest one.

Somebody’s looking in the mirror. I won’t mention any names.

mijostynaudiozenology, this is a good example of why you should never trust anyone’s hearing. I have also seen instances in which these "AB" comparisons were rigged by someone switching EQ curves or phasing.If you can not think of a reasonable rea...

profNever heard a difference.>>>No surprise there. You must be the unluckiest guy in the whole world.

It’s the same for electronics. Raise them off the floor. I-SO-LATE them. Hel-loo! You might try rubbing everything down with Bounce! anti-static towelettes.  
DIY speaker isolation base for a wood floor
My dual-layer iso platform Nirvana employs two very heavy masses 18x18 like granite or bluestone and two layers of springs. You can achieve extremely low resonant frequencies Fr with this set up, circa 1.0 Hz. Hel-loo! Total cost you ask, about $1...

Here’s an idea. How about using a set of Statue of Liberty 🗽🗽🗽🗽 souvenirs for elevating the cables and suspending the cables with a rubber band from the Miss Liberty’s torch? Set your cables FREE! 🤗

tweak1We all know that signal is flowing through the cables and that most carpeting can develop an electrostatic charge that can zap us (discharge) when we shuffle across the floor when the weather is cool and humidity is low.>>>>Some ... 
Directionality of Loudspeaker Cables
turnbowm74Wire directionality is unimportant in an alternating current (AC) application.>>>>It’s nice to hear from somebody who believes there is such a thing as wire directionality at all. By the way, almost all - if not all - audio c... 
Turntable isolation platforms
If you like sand and sugar and things of that nature you might give some consideration to glass micro beads, perfectly round teeny tiny hard glass spheres, the ones sold for use in airport runways, much more suitable to use in isolation stands sin...

How Science Got Sound Wrong
When the first atom bomb exploded in the desert a lot of theories suddenly became facts. Duh!  
How Science Got Sound Wrong
Most definitely not an English majors? OK. Let me guess, History major? Am I close? I thought we got rid of that “you can’t prove anything” philosophy when the Beatles broke up.
