Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this?

I've been experimenting with different cables between components. Nothing sounds right since trying to improve sound with new mix of cables. There is no bass and boring, highs are okay but life is gone from system. So I flipped everything back the way it was still sound horrible. Ran everything 24/7 for a couple days still no go. Let it run a couple more days dynamics are back and bass is full big and has tone again and enjoyable to listen to. Can someone tell me why this happens. I've also moved just speaker cables around without unhooking them and seen this happen, I don't get it.

^^^^^^

A normal response would be "Oh sorry, did not realize humidity could impact the attenuation that much.".
Who cares? Most systems are too bright anyway.

Uh, the claim was 10dB. Who cares about 1 dB? Answer at 11.

I have synergistic research sx speaker cables, stealth audio v16 interconnects,and synergistic research atmosphere x level 3 power cables to all my equipment. I have experienced that if I just barely move any of the cables I can expect at least a 2day delay for the cables to finally sound better. Is this normal?

Depends on how many times you have heard Ted Denney tell you that if you move the cables, you have to wait days for them to settle ... as his excuse for never doing double blind tests, even though he has claimed he would, but then backed out.
