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

Ludwig must be listening to something other than what is available to everyone else. What everyone else has does not sound like the original recording.

Yeah that is how and why he could make the comments he did.

Of course, he has a lot of money on the line to make such a pronouncement .

He also has had his hand in a vast catalogue of great sounding records/CDs.

There is no strange voodoo happening with cables moving. 1) changing antenna effect (rfi) 2) induction by magnetism off other cables (emi) 3)  picked up leakage current from other cables. 4) dielectric absorption can change for a little while when you move cables 5) static interference. And all these effects are influential on your equipment's power supplies. That is also the reason why power cables have effect. Your equipment has less hard work to do when it converts AC to DC and they don't interfere as much with other cables.

Keep power & low-level cables separate (at least 3 inch), shield low-level cables & cross at 90 degrees and you're almost done. You can also check the voltage on the ground line of your power strip because it can fluctuate when you move cables.

Best tip: don't touch it when its fine ;)

Lol, this is actually the best answer to this whole thread. Probably is also one of the reasons why grounding works.

Nice one for someone who just created an account and posted their first response on this forum. Now if the poster can identify himself :)

No, he blew it. His comment applies to re-routing cables. Of course we know all that. But the question is why disturbing them matters when they go back to where they were. He's talking about routing and spacing, when the question has nothing to do with that.

btw his tip is wrong too. The only way to know if its fine is to try and see if there's something better. Knowing it will sound worse for a while until it settles in.

But why does it need to settle in? That is the question.

It was not apparent to me that the original poster moved the cables back to the exact same spot. So it is still guessing what could have happened. I have only described a few technical possibilities that could have happened. Maybe the dynamics were killed by other possible symptoms like dc-offset on the grid. But I still don't believe in voodoo. I believe in an electrical explanation. Maybe Garth Powell or Cailin Gabriel can shine a light on this matter.
