Don't laugh, but Im posting my observations anyway. I just decided to tighten the binding posts on my amp more than the usual hand tightening. I used a wrench. Sat down and listened to willie Nelson "stardust" and was surprised that it sounded WORSE than it did with just a hand tightening. It tilted the sound to the bright side, and lost any type of relaxing sound.. It actually sounded constricted, with less ease, and actually had a slight hardness to the sound...I would have laughed at this kinda stuff a couple of years ago, but since graduating to relatively high end gear, it is quite true that EVERYTHING makes a difference. I loosened up the connections and that wonderful lush, sound came back..WTH! I "can't"
