Tweaks

When did we go from "it can't hurt" to "produces a HUGE improvement in the sound" when talking about tweaks? Was it the "Lead Balloon" that did it with turntables or the "Arcici" stands with the Quad electrostats, oh so many years ago? Was it "Tube Traps"? Was it magic bricks to put on top of power amps? Now days audiophiles seem to argue over the type of loop in the carpet of the listening room and its effect on sound. Anything that is exagerated becomes insignificant. Have audiophiles gone wrong somewhere? Why not admit there is no difference in the sound, you just want to be on the safe side?

PBB ought to try Kelly’s set up but with some more robust varieties of sod... er, grass.

Northern Lights, Early Girl, or OS 1 exhibit excellent absorption and diffusion characteristics.

Only problems I've found are the extreme temperature in my listening room - (amps keep shutting down). I've learned to live with the noise of the ozone generator and the constant buzz of the grow lamps. …But these DAMN welders goggles I wear (to reduce glare) are hurting my face and breaking up the sonic images.

Aside from that it’s the best tweak ever.
