Any tweaks I'm missing?


I have lots of ’tweaks’ added to my system.

Is there anything I’m missing?

A small cupboard, so no power conditioner possible.

A smallish budget, so most probably no Gate to try.

One small request...

Can the negative knobs please refrain from commenting.

I’m not interested in what you think of me, the products you have not tried, or my spending habits.

Only those who have experiences of possible additions, would be much appreciated.


Upgraded over the last year:

Chokes on electrical items with a switched mode power supply
Halide Bridge USB to coaxial reclocker
Akiko Triple AC Power Enhancer
Audio Prism Ground Control spades on speakers
RCA shorting plugs for inputs on my amp.
Akiko Tuning Caps on amp outputs.
Akiko Fuse Box Tuning Chip.
1 x Shumann Resonator Chatres SE + power supply

1 x Schumann Resonator CHARTRES Mk3

Black Ravioli pads for amp, Dac and power supply

Vibrapod isolation cones and feet
Akiko Universal Tuning Sticks on speaker cables.
iFi AC iPurifier.
MCRU Mains Filtration plug
Mad Scientist Nitro Nano power cables.
’LOA audio tweak’ chip.

Ideas?

fleschler3. Clean all wall outlets in ALL rooms of the house with isopropyl alcohol. Why? I never heard of this tweak.

>>>>It’s the ones you never heard of that come back to bite you in the 🍑 Unless you have dedicated circuits, the noise on one circuit migrates to the other circuits. You know, like noise caused by micro arcing in dirty connections. 
OMG!! 😩 Georgie Porgie just ratted out one of his own countrymen! What a dark day down under! Shame! And right after Georgie was selected to be his country’s spokesman for Preparation H.
Here are a few tweaks guaranteed to put a bee 🐝 in the bonnet of tweakaphobes and anti-audiophiles everywhere.

1. Demagnetize CDs, LPs and all cabling and power cords.
2. Isolate everything from the floor. Even Schumann frequency generators and power supplies.
3. Clean all wall outlets in ALL rooms of the house with isopropyl alcohol.
4. Always store all CDs and LPs vertically.

A CBD gummy and a couple Maiden’s Blush cocktails and I’m good to go.
I don’t think George will take umbrage in my observation that he should try to get out more often because he doesn’t know what umbrage means. 😀
I wouldn’t worry about George too much. He aw, he aw, he always does that.

Then speaking about upgrading electronics is at least half of the times be influenced by marketing engineering and more than that throwing his money to the wind, it is paying too much, more of the times... An audio system, a mass of electronics if you wanted, exist at his own true OPTIMAL potential capabilities ONLY in the controlled embeddings of a room and of a house, and of the audio grid, call these necessary means of controls : "tweaks", tuning, controls, treatment, cleaning, or " snake oil", that’s is the way it is and it must be, except for non-thinking mind...No controls-cleaning-tuning-tweaks etc , equals no optimal sound, for most of us most of the times... The exception is the 100,000 dollars system with dedicated room treatment included and even that, I does not like necessarily all of them sonically speaking...It is always better to makes that happen one step at a time for our own ears by ourself...

>>>>Wow, Wow, Wow!! You have accidentally stumbled onto one of the biggest secrets in all of audio - the Hierarchy of Sound. This is very hush hush 🤫 so please don’t spread this around. Loose 👄 sink 🚢

The Hierarchy of Sound proposes that relatively inexpensive, I.e., cheap, systems can outperform moderately expensive systems (plug and play) with attention to technical issues that exist in all audio systems. By the same token, tweaked moderately expensive systems can usually outperform expensive high end systems 💰💰 Since there is no such thing as the 🔜Absolute Sound🔚 - the curve of performance is hyperbolic - owners of expensive high end systems can get in on the action and tweak their systems to unheard of heights, as it were. Obviously high end manufacturers definitely don’t want anyone to discover the secret of the Hierarchy of Sound. That’s why this is very hush hush. 🤫
My guess, it’s like WA Quantum Chips. Somebody figured out how to harness the power of artificial atoms. All you have to do is calculate the specific resonant frequency or energy of whatever it is you’re trying to affect. You know, like the Intelligent Chip that aimed to affect the resonant frequency of polycarbonate and make it more transparent. It’s not rocket 🚀 science. Well, maybe it is.
mijostyn, feel free to say whatever you wish, it will stay up long enough for us to read it. Let it all out. You’ll feel better. We won’t judge you. 😬
I submit my idea again to start a thread, How small or innocuous can something be and still have a significant affect on the sound? Enough of these nervous Nelly types! The active ingredient in the Original Intelligent Chip was no more than about 1 million atoms. So cut me some slack, Jack!
