What if changing the direction of the faucet arm did ACTUALLY CHANGE THINGS?
I can think of several EM/RFI kinda changes off hand.
A water faucet is nominally grounded through the cold water pipes, etc., but what if that ground was less than ideal? What if the plumbing in her house/apartment was NOT grounded at all?
Altering the spatial location and angle of a faucet arm would then change it's relationship to RF energy, and how it interacted with same.
If the pipes WERE grounded, changing the direction/angle would change the location of a ground rod extended in space. If it were between an RF source, and her playback system, then altering the faucet geometry would also alter the amount and details of the RF energy visited upon the playback system.
In one case the faucet arm is acting as an antenna, in the other, a shield. Of course, there is an infinite number of variations between the two, involving simultaneous antenna/shielding actions.
These are just two trivial examples I can think of off of the top of my head, without invoking quantum physics, or more involved scenario's, such as corroded copper oxide pipes and rectification issues, etc..
Perhaps Enid wasn't so "out there" after all.
