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.

Yawn: we started with a Swiffer and end up in senseless discussion about fuses and powercables?
Peace on earth and Merry Christmas to all

@clearthinker  Not every cable I have has perfect insulation.  I am frugal, not because I do not believe in expensive cables.  Every time I clean the dust, immediately I hear the sound improvements just as claimed by the OP...  Ha!

Why nobody thinks I have been flippant?  Am I being too serious?

Wow some are wound a bit tight on this thread. It was poking fun at the fanatics and the deniers of cables and their mystical audio abilities.

You must be new on Audiogon. 

@lanx0003     'Perfect' insulation may be putting it too high.  On any cable if you put a few kV to the outside insulation, some of it may get through to the core.  But you must be buying too cheap.  I could put extremely effective insulation on every cable for a few $.  Which are the brands of your cables that do not have perfect insulation?  I shall be sure to give them a miss.
