Tweaks you got rid of because they were not effective (enough)?

Tweaks are how you do not build a great audio system.

If disparate "tweaks" are not the way, ,money is NOT the only way to build a great audio system....I apologize to reviewers...

:)

I know i have one at cheap cost but great, not with a singular "tweak" or 2 but very great with listening experiments and cheap materials that i use to create a connected GRID of devices embeddings controls...Calling that "tweaks" is inappropriate....Tweaks are not connected by cables.... :)

It is the ears and brain that matters most.... Money is not mandatory...I will not write a review of a million dollars amplifier, off course it will be better than mine, embeddings controls or not....But who cares about a half million dollars amplifiers? Or even a 100,000 dollars one? or even a 10,000 dollars one ? We, most of us want a good amplifier and we dont care about the best amplifier in the world because we cannot afford it anyway....

I prefer to make my 150 dollars vintage one sound near a 10,000 dollars one with the adequate cheap embeddings controls....

I dont read reviews anymore guess why? I dont buy "tweaks" guess why ?


I sell nothing except the faith in your own creativity....The only price you will pay is reading my posts....

Perhaps it is too much to pay....

You decide.....

My best to all....

Tweaks are exactly how you build a great audio system. I would even go so far as to say you cannot build a great audio system for any amount of money, it simply will not be great without tweaks. Sorry. You can build an expensive audio system without tweaks. You can even build an impressive audio system without tweaks. But you simply cannot build a great audio system without tweaks. 

Here in Seattle we have a system with over one million dollars worth of Wilson, D-Agostino, and AT. Very impressive. It probably could be a great system. But it has no tweaks. And so it is not as great as mine, which cost less than the sales tax on theirs. 

Please see my System page. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 There are many tweaks, not all equally effective but to take just one of the more average ones, cable elevators, everyone notices the sound field collapse when they are removed. The same or similar will happen if any of the many other tweaks are removed. Remove them all, I would not even want to hear it. For sure I would not be bragging about it. Minus the tweaks it would be merely another system, down there with the systems of all you who think tweaks aren't how you build a great audio system. 

“..down there with..” Hahaha. Ohhhhh boy..!

Expensive Ethernet cables esp. Cat 6 or 8.

@krelldreams We like it down here. Weather is fine. Air is full of oxygen, easy to think clearly.
