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

Audiozen with the problems setting up this system and adding panels was tricky I did finally correct the sound. Bass was full and highs detailed and airy. I decided to add silver interconnect between tube pre and amp, change to copper between phono pre and Preamp and leave digital as is. I never moved the speakers. After moving interconnects around that's when bass and air was lost. So only conclusion I can come to is moving wire around did affect the sonics of this system.

Cables are a dodgy subject. They require break-in. They require settling in. Their connectors even require settling in. They require correct direction. They should be isolated from vibration and static electric fields. They should be demagnetized. They should also be de-staticized. They should be cryo’d. Any objections? Let ‘er rip!

You don’t lose bass when moving cables. It just does not happen. If you truly lost bass, you have some corrosion issues or as Erik_Squires pointed out, a piece of equipment that has warm-up issues, though that seems unlikely unless you are using tube-equipment and something is out of whack / tubes are getting old.

Thinking about this another way, you may not be loosing bass, you may have a high frequency emphasis that is going away which also happens with equipment warm-up.  An initial high frequency emphasis will make the bass seem weak.  Again, taking cables on/off, unless you have serious corrosion issues will make almost no difference in frequency response (think small fractions of a db).

We can also conduct our own empirical listening tests while drawing our own conclusion's without the lecturing, insult, and misinformation that so commonly springs forth from those who's knowledge is mostly confined to developing intuitive conclusions based on the research of others without any first hand experimentation!

And some of us, like douglas_schoeder and myself, have been involved in the setup, design, and testing, of 100's of audio systems, or maybe analyzed high hundreds of variants of audio products during the R&D phase (or both), and back it up with a solid technical background, keep up to date on related topics including psychoacoustics and developments in understanding human hearing and processing, and engage a broad technical community. Maybe we have been doing that for decades.

Maybe, just maybe, anything interpreted as an insult is a response to an insult directed their way. Maybe they know the difference between a properly implemented experiment and one that carries limited value.

Maybe they consider the use of your term "misinformation" without backing it up as inflammatory and abusive, and certainly without merit. Saying "misinformation" without identifying where would be interpreted by many as dishonest and misleading.


Communicating knowledge that is the result of people experienced in the field obtained through proper research is not lecturing.
