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.

This reminds me of the effect of cleaning up the frame on my bicycle so all the paint and chrome looks nice and shiny. It seems to ride so much better even though I didn't clean or lubricate any of the moving parts or adjust anything.

Erik:

By the time I finish with a LONG listening session I'm usually covered with layer upon layer of car fur.

In that the "sessions" are great/memorable you may need to rethink your premise.

I am bored with this thread because it is time wasting to me.

Good progress, @Fuzztone so if you are bored and this thread is a waste of your time, why on earth are you here, at all? Is it too hard for you to just move along, without saying anything at all?

It’s not as if the existence of this thread, or any other thread I start prevents you from moving right along to another.

ES try PMing if you really want answers instead of public comments to attack.

You were the one who made several public comments which were disparaging, you should explain yourself very much in public. Remember that part where you said we weren’t sticking to reality? That was a really nice thing to say.

Just now you said it was boring. OK... and what? So it’s boring to you. Did you pay for it? Did you do something to make this site better or less boring? No you did not. Why should I talk to you in private about your are unable to behaving like an adult and move onto threads you DO like ?

PS - @fuuzztone, you’ve attacked several of my threads VERY MUCH in public, why on earth do you think I should PM you to reply? Why should you get the benefit of a private criticism when you never extended that courtesy to me?

As far as I can tell you are upset this thread isn't specifically for you? Right?

Well your refund check is in the mail.  Go stand outside and wait for it.
