jetter^^^^ The two sides will never meet. Where some consider it a special person with a sense of adventure and curiosity to experiment with some of the more, "bizarre" tweaks, others just consider this the "freak side show" of audio.But above all...

OK, I’m going to help you guys out. Here is a short list of iconic outrageous tweaks. 1Tiny little bowl acoustic resonators, 7/8” diameter, silver, gold and platinum versions. Don’t ask how much they are.Ultra Tweeters from Golden Sound, electroma... 
Most useful tweaks that are sensible and really make a noticeable improvement

Buy a $40,000 used DAC for $4,000 or a new one for the same amount?

Most useful tweaks that are sensible and really make a noticeable improvement
Speaking of tubes, anyone use Herbies Tube Dampers? The only Tube dampers that actually improve the sound and don’t make it worse. For tubes like 6SN7s with a base use one damper on the glass near the getter and another on the base.

I’m somewhat familiar with Hedley Lamarr. Is that close enough?

Interesting facts.Graphene is the most impermeable material discovered. Helium atoms can’t even get through graphene. Graphene conducts electricity much better than copper. Graphene’s current density is 1,000,000 times greater than copper and its ...

Once upon a time I used to work in a group of submariners, including sub skippers. One story they told was recording the clicking sound of a school of snapping shrimp 🦐 and overlaying that sound over voice communications when transmitting. The rec...

That’s weird. All I did was mention Joe Schlunk and Jitter shows up.  
What is the least compressed signal?
costco_emoji, I will not be totally happy unless milk squirts out of your friend’s nose. I assume your friend is also a high school drop out. You should have listened to your mommy when she told you to finish school. 🤗
