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 Blueranger  (Threads | Answers | This Thread) 09-18-05

Placement has a _huge_ effect on what you hear. Inches matter. If you didn't mark your old speaker location with tape, match up the spike holes, etc. they're in a different location. 2. Your hearing adjusts to consider what it hears on a regular basis as "accurate." Without listening to enough live music "accurate" isn't. Changes from this can be good or bad. 3. Expectation bias could have changed your impression of your new speakers.
