Where’s My Weakest Link?

All these ridiculous tweaks are pointless!

Arrogance is not always wise.... :)

This thing that audiophile calls "tweaks" in fact is a misnomer for something way more essential to know and which is underestimated and most of the times not very well known...

All my " tweaks" gravitated around the many controls of the 4 embeddings of any audio system...Mechanical, electrical, and acoustical in a passive and active way...


Most people think they can judge , speakers, amplifier, or dac, or any new audio component, by simply put it in the linked chain and listening to it all out of the box... This is totally false...


This is the most important thing I ever discover in audio...

Most of the times those who speaks about "tweaks" speaks of that in a not too much enthusiastic way, like if these "tweaks" are only secondary means or methods and not so important way to improve the sound, compared to an upgrade....This is false....( I dont count the few "ignorabimus" that denigrate)


Most of you or at least a vast number of people owns an audio system probably already very good, but if they listen to it in non controlled environment , with no rightly prepared embeddings, most people will never know what their audio system is able to give in S.Q. never...


This is plain truth....Dont buy anything this year, think about that instead....

By the way all my controls means (tweaks) are very low cost, and mostly homemade....They totally transformed my system audibly and without doubt in a more than good audio system....

I’ll be dead before I ever achieve any thing remotely close to perfection,

The goal is not obsessive search for perfection, the goal is to rightly embed in his mechanical dimension (vibration-resonance) in his electrical grid, and transforming in a passive way and also with active means the acoustical field of the room....

This is not obsession this is a good job done in a systematic way.... This is simple small fine tuning engineering works …. Those obsessed are those who cannot controls their own negative emotions towards others opinions...

It is of no avail to change first probably any one of your electronic components...

Is it not stupid to change any electronic component of an audio system without having ever listen to it at his top potential peak before?

Believe it or not, it is precisely what most people do, advise by market ploy or masters know-it-all...

Personally I  think your electronics components one by one are already good....

Before upgrading anything by frustration or misplace urge to easily change anything, think about the way to improve simply your system, with simple, homemade materials or vey low cost materials....


I cannot describe here all I have done, but the general principle is linked to this:


The most important underestimated facts in audio are the controls of the 4 basic embeddings : mechanical, electrical, and the passive and active controls of the acoustical field of the room ... There are others dimensions but these 4 one are fundamentals...

I give indications to try in my virtual page and more on my thread....

Never listen first only to someone who only buy new things or sell them except for a precise technical problems, create with fun your own heaven, and you will discover the truth about audio:

Most of us we owns already a good audio system, the real question is not about the way to upgrade the design of an electronic component by buying a new improved one;
the real question is : Do I know from having heard it already, how my audio system, as it is now, behaves in an optimal controlled environment ?


After these sets of experiments in controls of the 4 embeddings, knowing how beautiful is really your actual audio system, knowing his positive and negative point better, then you will know what electronic component to change for improvement, and in half the case you will say to yourself, why changing anything? this audio system is holographic, natural, 3-d imaging and is almost perfect.... I know it is mine... 500 hundred dollars for dac, amplifier, speakers, and 500 hundred dollars of materials at very low costs....

By the way my audio systems components are not on a higher rung of the audio scale at all compared to yours... They are in the same range of quality/price...But the difference between their sound in a non controlled embeddings and in a controlled one is simply not comparable at all.... This is the reason of my post to you.... It is not money that gives Hi-fi, all modern gear are relatively well designed, the problem is they sound not so good and even bad in a non controlled environment... Simple...


Listen to your own creativity.... Read and think about....Experiments with your ears opened....It is fun....

For your precise question, it is impossible to know the answer before all the electronic components are rightfully embedded …. It is my experience.... Play with this and you will know with fun experiments that will transform completely your system....Knowing that save me much money....
