Because the change to the better, especially in the bass area, happened the moment I changed the cables (yesterday) - and it was a big change.
The change in the midrange and top was not quite as prominent, but I discovered details I had not noticed before, and staging, space is now much more well defined. Even my wife came in and said wow.
The woofers was replaced about 2 months ago, the preamp about 1 month ago.
The preamp was way better in everything-midrange'ish than my previous solid state, but it rolls a bit of in the top, and was a bit more voluminous in the bass. As if the woofer didn't stop moving fast enough.
The cable thing is a bit mysterious - I thought that a cable mostly was a vehicle for the current moving from amp to speaker, and as 'we have learned' bass moves on the surface of the cable threads so the more threads in the cable, the thicker cable, the more and better bass, and silver is better for resolution of the top.
But apparently what changes the sound perhaps even more is the way the cable affects the power amp so i functions easier, better. So the exact aloy, resistance, magnetism, configuration (thread pattern), eventual shield, distance between threads, insulation, etc. is important.
I was nervous that I would get more bass due to the twice as thick vdh cables, but the opposite happened.
