Tweaks, money pit or real value?


I’ve had my share of tweaks from isolation devices to contact enhancers. The thing that seems to always follow them is how soon I seem to not recognize the improvement anymore. Initially wow that sounds incredible and then after awhile acclimation sets in and here we go again. Maybe not quite like that, but at times yes. I’ve come to the conclusion tweaks are a money pit and my wallet is a lot less valuable than it once was. 😂

When I think of crazy tweaks I always think of “The Crazy Little Clock”.

I think the company that made that is still up to no good.

However, these days, I have been turned on to super valuable tweaks by participating in this Forum. All have turned out to give major and significant improvements to my system. Most have proven to be transformative.

QSA Yellow fuses, SRA platforms, NPS 1260, and most of all, Townshend Podiums. I can honestly say that the improvement with the Podiums is as significant or more than any component upgrade. Perhaps only surpassed by my speaker upgrade itself.

 

If we talk about cables and another tweak turned on to through the Forum,

Silversmith Fidelium speaker cables! They replaced $6K cables which are now relatively junk. It has been said by a reviewer or two that they can go against the $30K stuff. $1200 an 8’ pair.
