It’s all a matter of degree


It may be stating the obvious, but each A’goner will have his own idea of how far he must go to satisfy his addiction.  To one member, enjoyment can be obtained with just a setup and no tweaks. Another will add a few or several and be satisfied.  Then there are those who must go on an all out quest for nirvana which may never be sated.

Which camp are you in?

Ridicuslously misguided....

Any system AT ANY PRICE must be controlled mechanically, electrically and acoustically...

An audio system is not a lamborghini, ready to use and plug with a key....

Educate yourself instead of mocking people who try to improve their own...

Study acoustic it will be a beginning...Before posting...

Or go on with the mass market conditioning of gear in audio magazine...

 

Tweaking is what you do with inferior systems.

A method is not a "sum" of "tweaks means,

That you must do listening experiments to increase mechanical controls of the gear, decrease the noise floor level of the house not only of the room, and ESPECIALLY listen to the room acoustic treatments and if possible create acoustic mechanical control...

What i call a method include these 3 working embeddings dimensions for ANY audio system..

And the more important aspect of the method is not "tweaks" but acoustical principles over anything else ... YES mechanical and electrical principles are important but MOST of the POSSIBLE S. Q. at the end will come from acoustic mastery not from the well  choosen synergy of the gear parts...

 FOR EXAMNPLE i used 2 different  type of ionizers and 12  tuned Schuman resonatrs but even if these "tweaks" are important they are anyway  SECONDARY additions to the PRIMORDIAL  acoustic passive material treatment and the Helmholtz acoustical mechanical control...

A method suppose listening experiments to fine tune the room...

Then to be an audiophile is not about upgrading nor about "tweaking" like some says, it is about the three dimensional  embeddings working controls and their  three integrated methods....

 

The only luxury in audio has never been the price tag of the gear AT ALL, but a dedicated room... Anything else is self delusion...Or consumers MASS conditioning...

Mass conditioning explain most of audiophiles thread chasing of the tail and even the world crisis... 😁😊

 

 

"tweaks" are secondary addition to a system which is supposed to give to the naive consumers his optimal working without ever being optimally embedded...

"tweaks" are most of the times costly ready made products sold to passive consumers as partal solutions at best...

 

We need a basic method to embed any system mechanically, electrically and especially acoustically...

Knowing that the question of the OP become now meaningless because between those who plug their system in the wall and dont ask for anything more, and those who use some "tweaks" only , and those who go for more "tweaks" chasing their tails, the same ignorance is partaked by them ...

We need a basic method not the buying of upgrades or of costly "tweaks"...

A method is not a sum of "tweaks"....

Acoustic especially is the audio sleeping princess...
