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

My 2 guesses which I wouldn't value at more than 2 cents (that's adjusted for inflation too).

First, all the adrenaline that you built up and blood you got flowing from moving and positioning the speakers caused your ears to be more accurate?

Second guess, our memories play tricks on us. It's a proven fact.

Actually, a though just occurred to me; maybe the connection of your speaker cable was better the second time around. They do say to reconnect (actually clean) cables and ICs every once in awhile.
