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.

The funny part is fuzztone system is a pro-ject protractor picture, and that's it! Even with over 4k comments, I can't take his comments seriously. Sorry.

I find that only Swiffer extensions manufactured before August of 2021 work for me, Later manufacture produces a harsh mid range bump that is painful but will disappear once the dust settles again. These extensions are harder to find, but worth the time and effort.  

@erik_squires - As I was reading your original post, I was thinking that this concept, however tongue and check, aligned with your room first perspective, then I saw you were the OP and was entertained.

 

@tomcy6 - Depending on how your friend washed his car, if any of the suspension components got wet it's possible that it could have a positive effect, at least temporarily, on the ride quality.  Also, wet tires should be slightly softer (they certainly cut easier) and that could also temporarily soften the ride which would feel good.

So all this time you were happily listening with one or more cables having a connection problem? Hmmmmmm…..

 

Don’t laugh. I have been to a guy’s home showcasing his amp he had put up for sale. The entire left channel was off, and he seemed to have no clue. 🤦‍♂️.

 

I have also experienced several times people having stuff connected out of phase, with no knowledge something was terribly wrong. Go figure
