Because you conceived of the tweek and performed it, so there must be an improvement or you wasted your time. The power of confirmation bias. Also, your ears don't measure, the brain perceives. Perception can be quite easily fooled, ask any magician.
good question
I'd like to reword your observation to become:
Assuming that most DIY assemblers are incapable, I would expect the majority of tweaks lead to poorer performance.
So, have you ever tried to reposition equipment that is hard wired together? Or even install it in the first place?
Let me get this straight; you are quoting a story you heard, and admit it my well be untrue, to make a point about other people imagining differences?
Well, you've convinced me!
I felt the same way as you when I heard it, to be honest, but i'm not in the position to discuss about it here. In case you are still interested in this matter, please contact Mikal (Mytek Digital) about it. He has tons of professional recording studio clients, so it's hard to believe that he would say voodoo with no objective evidence.

If it's not a commercial product, it's pretty reasonable to build a pig tail type of gear (one side of the cable is soldered).

FYI i have my loudspeakers hardwired, and when was using preamps the preamp also to the Amp. I have also the DAC in the form of PCB only and am just waiting to have the time to make a solid aluminum enclosure that would be attached inside the amp. And yes, silver wired directly to the amp inside
Absolute
PROVE it.
i am ready to slap in the face and send to an ophthalmologist
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
anybody who says he doesn't hear
the difference
absolute proof and confession that you hear with your eyes, so arguing with you about anything Audiois pointless.
As of the face slapping threat, you have no business in a polite and civilized Forum, either here or anywhere else.
Nuff said.

Ok Otorhinolaryngologist, now happy?
I never make threats my friend. You must be mistaken by my words and/or language translation and/or interpretation.
Plenty of the things I have tried didn't work, but why would I tell people about them? I wouldn't want to see a list of failures, but I AM interested in successes.
That's what i was going to say too, though though it so obvious that no need to explain it officially...
I diy rca with silver wire , teflon isulate and some connectors cost me 20 times less if compare to boutique stuff.
Try & experiment : solder and enjoy
That's exactly what i will be doing next week. i bought 24AWG /0.5mm OD/ silver wire .9999 and am waiting for it.
That's exactly the other part, why i that started the discussion here. Cause i decided i would like to DIY myself single point ground connectors and wanted to know my options how to make them better. Hence silverplated and the questions that followed.
What are the connectors you are using? i have some REANs here which are cheap but good enough and i am happy with them. Though they have a bit too much metal, so i bought apart some even cheaper for experimentation.
And to the "anti cable" guys, or to say it the 2$ cables. The other day was cutting a cheap cable savaging it for the connectors, what a surprize when it stuck to the magnet side on my workbench
Copper, come on. Why to waste copper. Lets make it from iron
They are Bullet Plugs brand
i find new cheaper on second hand marked in swap meet forum section
Solder with 2% silver was used. Easy to diy and you can do it better fat insulating

You must still be traumatized from that experience.
