True or False?


Many high-end manufactures deny the benefits of tweaking their components with upgraded power cables, fuses, etc. We all can agree that even the best speakers respond to room placement but is it true or not true in (your experiences) that the better your audio components are, the less they respond to various tweaks?

Having owned a Audiostore ,having techs working for me I learned 
the vast majority has average at best parts even Electronics over $10 k on average l25% or less actually goes into the product,the rest R&D overhead and markup.  Some use fancy boxes and get $$ premium cost . Some of these speakers tons of cheap drivers and Xovers for big sound but will never refined like  when using lessmuch higher quality drivers and premium Xover parts .
thus is why Modwright was so successful modding makes a lot of sense .being in audio over 40years . The majority Donot use premium parts, average at best.This is why I upgrade my own Speakers xovers
And have my electronics upgraded where needed with premium parts and connectors another big area most companies use garbage gold over brass , I us3 WBT copper gold , and the stock $2 IEC is a joke ,I use Furutech copper gold .and only Highpurity 6-9s Wiring. Fuses are the last thing, great system enhancement like the New 1260 3D total
system enhancer from Hifidelity audio cables ,is like a system component upgrade . Doing mods for 20 + years now many Audiophiles should look inside ,and most speakers pure rubbish for parts in their Xover sad but true.just look inside you will see 
exactly what I mean. 
One thing to remember which I learned long ago.
$$ money doesnot guarantee your components synergy 
or even top quality . For example I have had several Loudspeaker companies, cable companies hang up on my when I questioned them on their pricing for substandard quality a $80 k speaker using $20 Mundorf evo capacitors, or a very famous British company known for their great custom midrange driver using Xover parts from Taiwan ,Yes sad but true ,the vast majority feel 
a ok capacitor ,resistor, or inductor is good enough ,out of sight 
out of mind .electronics same deal average at best parts even in electronics over $10 k each ,put it in a nice machined case 
And  jack up the price .
