    Does it sound better the more the setup looks like a roller coaster?

    ''Electrons can fall down sharply: harsh sound, better to have smooth bends.
    Also, going near floor, it will have 'grounding effects' : more solid bass, but less soundstage. ''
    I'm not making this up, a guy told me this, not word-to-word but the message is the same, he was convinced.

    There hasn't been any experiment proving electrons are affected by gravity especially from the earth so they can't fall. The're only affected by the electromagnetic field but hey...moar bass.

    This only works if the world is flat otherwise the electrons might slip and bump into each other.

    I don't see 90 degree intersections between power and analog cables. Fail.

    For a second I thought this was a new release/palette swap of Roller Coaster Tycoon...

    One needs to be concerned of Facoult currents coupling to signal cables, that's why!
    By going critical 45deg, it's half'n'half.

    This reminds me of the guy that told me that using an LPS, versus an SMPS, to power your CD drive when ripping results in better sounding rips. I asked him where in the binary files this power noise information was stored. I am still waiting to here back.

    Well, on the bright side of you have risers bolted onto the floor it sure is a heck of a lot easier to vacuum all the dust back there without needing 3 arms.

    I think I'd rather spend my money on Steam sale games I'll never play though.

    Worst part about this is, that some of it can be proven to have physical effects.

    Well conducting floor can couple capacitively to cables
    and sharp bends in cables can alter wave impedance of cables (it's a thing for super fast ethernet for example).
    Vibration damping acting through these cutting boards can have tiny effect for tubes.
    My dorky comment about eddy currents can have real effects as well.
    So that dudes with 240k$ burried in it can refer to science, hehe.

    Audible or not, I am too peasant to tell that.

    You guys don't know anythings. Every audiophile should know that the finest cables float.

    They're also invisible. I have some invisible floating cables I'm willing to sell for a super low $50k USD a pair.
