I've conducted a failed experiment over the weekend (basically, spent most of the day moving my audio system from one part of the house to another part of the house). Once I made the move, realized that the new room acoustics were dismal, and was forced to take everything back to the old room.
At the end of the day (and after a lot of swearing and such), I sat down to listen to my system in my usual position. Lo and behold, it sounded so much better! But how's that possible? I haven't changed even the tiniest bit, and my 'expectation bias' was honestly non-existent at that point. Someone told me that, every now and then, it helps if you 'reboot' your audio. Turn everything off, unplug everything, disconnect all the interconnects, disconnect the speaker wires, take components out of their dusty place on the shelf, dust them off, take them out for a walk/airing. Then, once you put everything back together, the plugs will be rejuvenated etc., and voila! -- you'll get a better sounding system. Any truth to this old wife's tale? -- magiccarpetride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85495 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
