Cable Elevators killed my bass

I purchased a set of 8 Cable Elevators locally on consignment recently for experimentations' sake and was shocked to hear how they seemingly sapped my speakers/system of a couple of hertz of bass output. I have stand-mounted monitors with limited bass so this effect was not subtle. However, every last vestige of grain, haze and artifice in the mid and upper frequencies was gone (and I mean GONE!) as well so this tweak seems to be a double-edged sword that I feel like falling on. Anyone else out there have a similar experience with disappearing bass?

In my experience, moving cables can affect the performance until they re-settle.

You are joking right??? How exactly does it effect performance from an engineering perspective.. What re-settles?? If you lift them up higher does the bass diminish even more??

If I throw the cables in the washer will they sound CLEANER after doing so??
