Funny thing happened after my neighbor moved.

My neighbor who had lived at his house for 19 years  moved to Indianapolis, Ind about a week ago.

He and his wife had taken care of nice garden on 2 acres house here.

But after having gone through cancer treatment, he (86 years old)has one or two years left according to his doctor.

His wife (87 years young) is healthy with 10 more years left.

Thus he had decided to move closer to his only son.

He got a one acre house at 5 five miles from his son’s house.


He had been very friendly since I moved to my house 7 years ago.

Thus I miss he and his wife very much.


But funny thing happened!

After he moved out, sound out of my audio system got more clean.

Is it because of absence of RF or EMI noise generated by my neighbor.

New neighbor who bought the house will use the house as second home.


If that is so, is this good news to my audio system?

It had already been sold!

Fortunately new owner will use it as second home.

Thus I do not need to spend more money.

I don’t want to be the pessimist here, but establishing cause-and-effect can be a tricky business. There could easily be other reasons for the change in your system’s performance. For example, electric utilities routinely make changes in their distribution systems as part of load balancing. This could be a case of that.

But let’s hope that your suspicion is correct.

I think I saw this on an episode of the Twilight Zone where everyone was suspicious that their neighbors were aliens on a mission to ruin their hifi sound.

Some people feel that the sound out of their audio system sounds cleaner on evening.

In my house if I turn on and off the light on the second floor, then music server on the third floor got hitch for one second.

I doubt that... as I think that audiophiles are more paranoid than that.
More to discover
