Why does my system sound better??

I unplugged my stereo to change back to my old speakers. Old speakers sounded better than I remembered. I unplugged stereo again and put back original pair and they sounded better than I remembered. This is not a scientific. My question is by turning off ones stereo system do you degauss the power cables in some way. I have a PS 1000 power plant but it does not have the degauss software. I do leave my stereo on all the time. Mike

I agree with Phd,

I think the answer here might be that after components are on for a while, the circuits stabilize, they reach their optimum operating temperature & the sound will usually change for the better, could be for the worse. It may be you like the sound better before this happens!

My second best guess is the listener has not acclimated themselves to the "flaws" of the most recently attached speaker until some time passes. All speakers have a personality and none are without flaws.
