Any tweaks I'm missing?

I have lots of ’tweaks’ added to my system.

Is there anything I’m missing?

A small cupboard, so no power conditioner possible.

A smallish budget, so most probably no Gate to try.

One small request...

Can the negative knobs please refrain from commenting.

I’m not interested in what you think of me, the products you have not tried, or my spending habits.

Only those who have experiences of possible additions, would be much appreciated.

Why do you continue to be rude? I don’t get it.
Is this your crude attempt at humour?
Forgive me if your keyboard bully tactics are not having the desired effect.
I'm sometimes not the quickest in figuring out what others are expecting in response.

You have preached. Everyone gets your point of view.
A zealot indeed. Be damned, any who disagree with you. I hide in fear of your scorn.

You are surely an educated, clever man; no denying.
I am no match for your intellect.
Your arguments are reasoned, balanced, witty.
Although your comprehension skills are perhaps at times a little wayward.

The more exploring someone does on their own the better. If you look at the Tunees you will see we start with the signal itself. We either get designs already bare bones or we strip stock products to their bare bones and begin our tuning from there.

With today’s designs from around the world, doing this is very inexpensive and it doesn’t take long to discover the performance increases by getting rid of mass. How big of a performance difference thanks to the internet is being told and is jaw dropping.

I have guys for example who have recently gone from $70,000.00 systems down to around $8000.00 that sound several times as good as the expensive ones. Imagine going from a $45,000.00 reference amp, pre and CDP to a $450.00 amp CDP combo with a huge musical performance increase. That’s what is taking place right now and has been proven many times over.

pretty cool time to be a hi performance listener

That will change the industry Michael.

I had tried many amps with my eldest daughter.
A couple of A&R Cambridge A60s, a couple of my Plinius pre/power amps, Perreaux, Arcam. Over the years, she managed to blow all of them...

A couple of months ago we settled on a NuForce DDA-100. What a pleasant surprise. Coupled them with my oldish Quad 11L speakers and an SMSL B1 Bluetooth receiver, and she's never been this happy.

And until this, never considered the digital conversion at the end of the audio chain.
