high/low humidity? Type of carpeting/no carpeting? Cement/wood flooring? Basement or higher up? Throw rugs?
It would be scientific for someone to clear up the myths involved. I would find it hard to believe that it is clearly audible under all conditions. I have tried it but reserve any comments/opinions.
Does anybody have research or data on the subject? Citing experience under one's own condition is not definitive.

Well Story, I have decided, since subjective experience is so difficult to come by given the arduous task of lifting cables off the floor and taking a before and after listen, to go rogue and personally fund a randomized, blinded,controlled trial of the effects of lifting cables off of rugs, nylon, wool and cotton, wood and laminate fake wood. I hope to soon get the results published is a respected scientific journal like Sterophile or The Absolute Sound. Stay tuned,so to speak. Tweaker456

Also, YIKES.
and hope it can shed some light on the subject because it seems to be environment dependent, but I'm not sure.
I hope it's simpler than politics.

It will be a lot simpler than politics because everyone will be blindfolded so as to reduce subjectivity and brainwashing to zero. They won't even be told what the independent variable is. Be watching the Sterophile headlines soon! FINAL RCT CONCLUSION: LIFTING CABLES OFF THE FLOOR RESULTS IN... (hint, horse blankets)

horse blankets implies big, day and night differences.
so is that your claim. If I lift my speaker wires I will hear a large obvious improvement?

Tre,horse blankets was not my claim, it was Pierre Sprey's claim which I pretty much stated could be considered a touch hyperbolic. #2 One man's horse blanket is another's cold night in the dark uncovered. #3 all one has to do is try it for themselves and see.#4 Horse blanket or no horse blanket it may be the particular kind of change that got rid of some annoyance or lifted ones system across a certain threshold of performance that might have been sought. I think this is a very good tweak for very little effort and expense. This by the way Tre, this is the tweaker's asylum. To tweak or not to tweak?, that should not be the question here,IMHO.
