Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this?

I've been experimenting with different cables between components. Nothing sounds right since trying to improve sound with new mix of cables. There is no bass and boring, highs are okay but life is gone from system. So I flipped everything back the way it was still sound horrible. Ran everything 24/7 for a couple days still no go. Let it run a couple more days dynamics are back and bass is full big and has tone again and enjoyable to listen to. Can someone tell me why this happens. I've also moved just speaker cables around without unhooking them and seen this happen, I don't get it.

When people with such experience in audio like Nelson Pass, Rob Watts talk about measurements and correlation between SQ and measurements I respect their opinion.
But how many people with such knowledge experience in audio are exist?

Because every second person on any audio forum likes to talk about science and measurements.
But how many people here have any education in electronics, physics and psychoanalytic?
Most of they didn’t study out of these disciplines.
Unlike most of people here, I have BSc in electronics. But I don’t have enough knowledge to enplane most process in audio scientifically.

Sorry for a harsh word "morons". Because that I put it in quotes!

Anyway, IMHO to make a real serious measuring analysis in audio you
have to have a deep knowledge not just in electronics but in psychoanalytic.
But 99% of audiophiles who try to use these kind of theories don’t have any of required knowledge.

There is a big difference between real scientists and "moron audiophiles" that fanatically believe in their "scientific theories".
For scientists if an experiment disproves theory, they conclude the something is wrong in the theory. 
And for "moron audiophiles" everything is exactly opposite. If an experiment (and the experiment in audio it is listening test) disproves theory, they don't believe to their ears. 
I listened a number of systems of such "moron audiophiles" and saw how this  believe in their "scientific theories" leaded them to horrible results!

Nelson Pass, Rob Watts just examples.
IMHO measurements have value only in case of strong correlation with listening tests.

Yes I agree with  @dmac's friend.
But, I am surprised by people who refuse to hear a change in sound (caused by some change in system) just because they don’t know how to explain this change scientifically.
I think probably everything has to have scientifically explanation, but nobody from us has a full knowledge about the wold around us.
