RE: Tell us the most obscure tweak you know of that works:

Posted by gordguide on January 15, 2017 at 06:57:28:
The most obscure "tweak" I've encountered is a floor-mounted fan, the kind you can buy at Wall-Mart for $20. A base with typically 4 legs, a vertical pole with adjustable height, typically you can select stationary or blowing over maybe a 45 degree horizontal area ... well you probably have it figured out by now. Oh, three blades with a wire cage, maybe 18" in diameter.
Anyway, as it turned out, I had the fan out so it was handy when the person who previously stayed in my house came to pick it up, it was her fan. So it was between the front door of the house and my left hand loudspeaker in the living room, at roughly the same height as the speaker. Depth-wise the fan was slightly behind the back of the left speaker, a bit closer to the wall.
Anyway, getting to the point ... with the fan sitting there I was startled to hear images that extended well beyond the left and right of my speakers. And when I say well beyond I mean many feet ... the image extended from almost the door to almost the right side room boundary.
Moving the fan away confirmed it was responsible.
