Seriously though, maybe the best tweak is exercise?

I posted, mostly in jest, before that cleaning your gear would yield fantastic sounding results. Yes, it was a joke, brought about by the fact that I thought the sound was better afterwards. Of course it was probably placebo ... but what if the actual cause is moderate exercise?

So, audiogoners, I challenge all of you to go out, put some bug spray on, and put your fancy iPhone or Android HR monitor to good use.  Then sit yourself and your sports drink down and listen.

Does it sound better?

The walk to the turntable and the record shelves ups the step counter.

My take away is bug spray. It’s 25° where I live.  At 8200 feet there’s no air up here either. If you exercise you’ll fall over.

I do believe exercise improves my audio system. I can relax more knowing I am taking care of myself, and also less worry about sitting too long listening. No sports drinks, a good blended scotch. Otherwise, I hear Sour Diesel is really good.

My wife would say my main system sounds better after I dust the room it's in.

I definitely have better vision after a workout where I am pouring sweat, such as playing squash or spinning. The hearing maybe improved by this too, since everything is better with the body after a hard workout.
