@mwinkc ,
if your left arm is shaky enough that‘d be ‘de trop’
I have found out why new cables and tweaks actually work!
The issue is now solved via irrefutable scientific data and rigorous validation after unprecedented levels of physical effort. I now know why swapping cables works, and why a great deal of other tweaks work too.
I spent a great deal of time over the weekend cleaning my entertainment center. I used a Swiffer with the extending wand attachment. Immediately afterwards I went to watch a movie and the sound was clearer, cleaner than I’d ever heard it before. The video didn’t change, but the audio, it was so good I stopped playing the Fellowship of the Ring for the 10th time and went to listen to music.
Oh my goodness, what deep and extended soundstage! Not only could I hear deeper into all of my music but instruments had bodies and height! Diana Krall was so palpably present I wanted to buy her dinner. But what had changed?? Every single cable was left as it was, but I had cleaned!!
That’s when it hit me. All my tweaks and all my cable replacements did nothing. It was the cleaning I did every time I replaced a set of cables that actually caused the revolutionary transformations I was experiencing. Same for every other audiophile!! You've ignored the cleaning and ascribed changes to gear. We've been fooled!
On a completely unrelated note, I will soon be releasing my own line of advanced, jitter free, cleaning solutions, in peach, evergreen, unscented and Axe Body Spray fragrances.

Audiogoners won’t joke around here. They took music listening a serious business. Dust usually does not conduct electricity. However, when the moisture in the air "adsorbs" and forms a thin film on the surface of dust particles, the dust layer on the cables becomes condusive and intensifies emi/rfi that compromises the sound quality... |
@clearthinker honestly i thought my system sounded better without the dust bunnies. 🤣
when it comes to cables, I know they can make a difference, but I doubt very much most are worth the retail. It was also enlightening to me how people who arent drinking the kool aid can hear a difference and still make radically different choices. |
The comment about perception is a good one. Some years ago there was an industrial engineering experiment to see what color on the walls of the cafeteria raised morale. They found that it wasn't the color as much as just making a change. Similarly when we want to hear a difference, we often do perceptually. |
