Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil

I'm looking at some porcelain cable lifters to get some power and speaker cable up off the floor. Does raising the cables off the floor really make a difference? It's going to be about 200 bucks for 10 of them. Thanks.

I believe the mechanism involved in coiled speaker cables is induction, with the coil acting as an inductor, which, in series, acts as a low pass filter, reducing high frequencies, exactly as you noted.

I requested my girlfriend and her friend to hold left and right speaker cables while playing a tune. While it was a pleasant sight, I heard no sonic improvement. I will suggest both of them wear bikinis and give it another go.
