And you've reminded me...
that when I got my power conditioner off the floor and onto a rack, the improvement in clarity was so pronounced that I truly laughed out loud.

That's good to hear. With my Foundation Research line conditioners I've heard just a barely audible improvement, clarity actually. If a 5% improvement is barely audible, then this improvement was no more than 5%.
Like cables, I'm sure the results differ based on a number of factors e.g. LC mfg'er, carpet, etc. I'm floating the ground at my LC's too so perhaps there's a difference there. Then of course my LC's are mounted on a steel stand with steel points plunging through the carpet and pad, hence the LC's may not be quite so far removed from static electricity as I think. But if that were the case, then I'd have the same issues at my rack with my components where everything is TIGHTLY coupled together via metal that freely conducts electrical charges.
I personally have never heard any difference from raising the cables off my wood floor with wooden lifters.
That was with my analog system that consisted of an MMF-5 TT, a Radio Shack "Little Rat", Bottlehead Paramour 2A3 monoblocks and Horneshoppe Horns. The cables at that time were DIY CAT5 speaker cables terminated with banana plugs (no solder) and I think the interconnects back then were all Monster but I don't remember which exact ones they were.
It may be that my system wasn't good enough to benefit from the lifters?
