Some serious questions concerning audio cables

Posted by geoffkait on February 27, 2022 at 04:24:25:
Why does lifting cables off the floor improve the sound?
Why does direction of cable matter in terms of sound quality? No, I'm not referring to cables with shielding connected at one end. I'm referring to the conductor itself.
Why do cables sound better when treated with anti static spray?
Why does highly polishing the conductor surface improve the sound?
Why does cryogenically treating cables improve the sound?
Why do copper and silver cables often sound so different when they have nearly the same conductivity?
