"The higher in resolution your system becomes, the less you can hear the improvement afforded by any given tweak?" That seems to defy logic to me.
I’ve only heard a couple of systems ... very expensive systems ... that can place the musicians "in the room" in believable three dimensional relief. On my very best recordings, many of which have been recommended in this thread and the RED fuse thread as well, with lights out and eyes closed, my system, with all of its tweaks, place the musicians "in the room." And, I’ve done it for at least one tenth of the money those "very expensive" systems cost.
Some of the tweaks I’ve found successful are:
Room treatments. (tons of stuff)
Vibration control. (tons of stuff)
Herbie’s tube dampeners. Highly recommended.
SR Blue fuses. (5 total)
SR Power Cables. Highly recommended. (Level III)
Von Gaylord Legend IC’s and speaker cables. (incredible tonal balance)
The new, soon to be released secret tweak. (an absolute must!) I can’t wait for some of you to try it out.
The SR Blue fuses combined with the soon to be released "Super Tweak" have finally pushed the system down Alice’s rabbit hole into a surreal world where few audio systems have traveled. Imagine going from a stream with murky water where its difficult to see the bottom of the stream, and then looking down into a crystal clear stream where you can actually see the shapes, colors and textures of the rocks, weeds and boulders submerged 30 feet below.
Again, this phenomenon doesn’t occur on every recording, but on something transferred from a master tape onto a CD for example, it can be uncanny. Just like listening with a side kick known as The Cheshire Cat. I call him Robert. :-)
I sincerely hope your system gets this kind of resolution. If not, there is work to be done.
