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.

On a serious note, I highly recommend MadScientist Audio's Graphene Cable Enhancer, no matter what you've used before it

I found that the cheapest tweak is candling your ears to remove the earwax.  Amazing improvement in soundstage, air around the instruments, and the bass is now magnificent!

I have considered gouging my eyes out in hopes that my ability to hear will be enhanced. 

@immatthewj, LOL!  But way too extreme.  If you're wrong, there's no going back from eye-gouging!  I would try something like removing earwax first, and see how that works.  Or you can walk around the house with an eye mask on for a few days and see if your other senses compensate.
