Audiogoners won’t joke around here. They took music listening a serious business. Dust usually does not conduct electricity. However, when the moisture in the air "adsorbs" and forms a thin film on the surface of dust particles, the dust layer on the cables becomes condusive and intensifies emi/rfi that compromises the sound quality...
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.

@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? |
@clearthinker All right, I give up. I was being cynical and sort of tagging along playing dumb. I apologize for the invented dust "theory". Lately, there are several dumb threads like this, such as comparing digital to the cheap TT/analoug equip. I do not find that funny at all to be honest not because I don't get the joke... |
