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.

Yes, it does make a sonic difference and one doesn't need to spend a fortune on fancy devices to obtain that goal, however, I'll admit that some of those cable lifting devices do look very elegant! My only complaint regarding suspending cables from the cealing is depending on the location of the room it might be difficult to accomplish, degrades the look of the room and usually will not meet the wifes expectations.

They all worked and I could not tell the difference based upon music other then the music sounded better with the cables on some type of lifter.
