I was real big into cycling before my accident brought me to a Audio. Cycling is the same way . A guy spends thousands of dollars to save 100 g of weight on a bike. Does it make them any faster? You could do the math and say yes. Is it in his head?mostly. I think the same rules apply to audio. Did the new cables look better? Yes. do they sound better or is it in the guys head? It’s mostly in the guys head. It’s probably the same way with guys who work on cars, motorcycles and any other hobby you can think of. If it’s a hobby and people love it they will find a way to accessorize it. That’s what keeps some of these marginal products in business.
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?
