I first tried raising the cables off the carpet by raiding my crockery cupboard and using some upturned small ramekins.
I played some music and after about fifteen minutes decided that there really wasn't any change to the sound. So I removed the ramekins. That made me realise that the sound had in fact been improved ( more open, more 3D and improved bass clarity) and I immediately replaced the cable supports.
Move forward several years. I had some work done at my place which necessitated tearing down my whole system. Two months later the work was complete and I could put my system back. For visual aesthetics I thought that I need not worry about raising the cables and just left them on the carpet. After a day or so I just couldn't stand how flat the sound was and had to put back the cable supports. By now I had changed the make do ramekins to some little grooved myrtle wood blocks from Cardas. I cannot say they were sonically any better than the old ramekins but they certainly looked a lot better.
BTW as I use active loudspeakers the cables were (are) long interconnects, not loudspeaker cables.
