Neither tube initially sounded very good at all in my system Wayne.
But I have performed this trick before, so I degaussed both and the
sound sure improved. The zingy highs, the thin sound are no longer.

Best guess of the top of my head is it creates random molecular orientations.? I would have to delve more deeply with a
physics/chemistry expert.

Caveat: My system was a lab system (now in my apartment) is
extremely sensitive. The sound is also not sterile, but very natural.

There are multiple tweaks that I can perform to cross check and
see if the sensitivity results match.

One is being able to alter a crossover resistor by 1/1,000,000 of an
ohm with timber, sound stage change etc heard.

Another is, for each speaker leg, I use ten 18 gauge wires in parallel, 6 feet long. If I change to 9 or 11 wires in one leg, the timber, sound stage changes etc.

Audiophile Dan comes over (50 mi) so we have opportunities to make changes
and decide if a tweak is an improvement or detriment.

Cheers
