Audiophile rites


Yesterday, I went to the dollar store around my way and loaded a pack of D batteries, 36 of them exactly, to power my Final Music 6 amplifier. When I restocked the amp with the proper, fresh batteries, it gave me the slamm that I remember it had, when I first got it. I forsee my future as doing that continuously, whenever the batteries are low in charge. A $9.00 investment that provides me audio nirvana whenever I do. Almost as if I had a new amp....I wonder if there are other "rites" that audiophiles do when it comes to equipment, music, software etc that gives them the magic that is missing...and what happens when they do it. It does not matter how "excentric" this activity might be.....IE: qtipping one's ears to clear the sonical picture.

Okay, lets see now. so far on audiogon I have learned that

1. tubes make a differance; rolling tubes is better

2.One must be particular which interconnects to use; paying serious attention to which cable is coming from the pre as opposed to which comes from the receiver

3. Transports make a differance; even if you have to get a special DAC

4. the DAC is more important; don't waste time on the transport

5.Musicality is actually a word; Audio Aero has it and Wadia doesn't

6.Ancient receivers are better; that they can't stay locked on a particular station is no big deal

7. Two channel rules; so how come so many of us who swear by it also have multi-channel?

8.Dedicated lines are a must; be sure to run seperate lines for the amps

9. Cryo your ports; as in 'Albert'

10. And now I must start moving my gear around around every six months so the cables point the right way? Has Feng Shui now influenced the Cryo-conditioned-specialized power cable-seperate transport and DAC-properly cabled interconnect-specially tube-rolled amp with bi-wired silver-on-bass and copper-on-mid-range electrostatic speakers with custom tweeters?
