The answer to all your question ... It doesn't.All of those things you mention are not based in any real physics or electronic theory.
Raising cables does not make them sound better. Maybe they won't get wet if you have a flood, but effect the sound. No.
Wire is not directional. Audio is AC. In AC circuits electron movement is a net zero result, and what movement exists is bi-directional, technically. That's what "alternating" means.
If your cables are affected by static, throw them out. They are defective or poorly designed.
Polishing is done to make things pretty, nothing more. To make it sound better? No. Polishing a connector to remove built up corrosion in order to lower contact resistance every once and a while ... sure, that's real.
Cryogenics applied to electronics is done ONLY to reduce intrinsic noise in circuits that require extreme ultra-low noise specifications, like submarine detection systems. In any audio application (Pro or Home) it is utterly meaningless.
Silver and copper are nearly identical in conductivity. The difference in sound are not due to either metal, but more in terms of the physical design of various cables that impact L,R,& C to a greater or lesser amount. Silver and copper are nearly identical electrically and at audio frequencies they are considered identical.
