@aalenik There are a group of music and system appreciators "sit on the fence" until they can see benefit or proof that the act of that tweaking (not twerking), or that the product (if it even is a product) is worth the price tag.
Note I called a group "music and system appreciators" rather than audiophiles. Not all music lovers are audiophiles per se'. Some like music very much, and as such spend the appropriate money on the system that satisfies their need. Indeed they love live music and seek to see that their system plays this out, to a point. Free tweaks are always appreciated though.
Audiophiles go all out to acquire the system that best reproduces a sound that is closest to live music. What ever the cost is some cases. These people are the ones who appreciate tweaks, go out and afford to themselves inch thick speaker cables, gauge to the 1/2 degree, toe in or out of speakers. These people expect to attain the best reproduced sound, through hardware, source accuracy, reproduction accuracy and tweaks to get even more from their system. Some will pay big dollars for it if it has been represented correctly. Some will blow hard of tweaks to gain legitimacy in a forum.
I am admittedly from the appreciator group. I know I simply cannot afford the big stuff. But free tweaks I can appreciate. Advice on how to set a room up by moving things around (wife's permission is mandatory) is a great tweak. I like live music, and appreciate my system to represent as closely as I can afford, the music my wife and I enjoy.
Cheers. A.
