Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking...

I was like that 7 years ago, desesperate to accomplish my dream of an audio system at least very good if not more than that...

I wander trough many audio forums where posters of fanboy of all kind of trademark new products or vintage one sometimes helped me, many times not really...I was desesperate because the unconscious programs were new hi-fi products only are necessary and sufficient by themselves to accomplish that dream...


But after many deceiving results with new products, and broken promises, and the impossibility to accomplish my dream with only the money I lacked (I dont have this luxury) I begin to think and read about tweaks, vibrations controls, room design, EMI and RFI cleaning, and stones and crystals also and about many exotic product, expansive one with crystals for example promising the audio moonshine...I decide to replicate some results homemade at low costs because it was the only possibility without purchase money to begins with...


It takes me some years of experiments, not too complicate, one at a times, each result constructed with the preceding one, and at the end my dream was there for the last months... A very good audio system (Very good without being pricey) for the first time of my life...


I start this thread only to inspire some people because when I begins I was desesperate to look for sound and inspiring advices other than "buy this miraculous trademark that will solve all problem" or other than only necessary but straight "technical informations about impedance etc"...


Nevermind what you owns, probably good or very good products already, the only road to audio heaven is linked to the cleaning of negative resonance, decreasing the noise level of the audio system grid but also of the house electrical grid, and linked to the acoustic treatment of your room... I dont even speak about special tweaks like Helmholtz bottles or Schumann Generator for example and other minor remarkable tweaks...

Even if your audio system is worth 100,000 bucks, without that 3 ways necessary working roads and some of these other tweaks, you dont know what your audio system optimal potential is... That is my only discovery...

It does not seems that there exist many people here to confirm or concur with "my only discovery"...

People seems more busy in their audiophile life to look for buying new stuff than to pause and think: Is my actual audio system sound at his potential level sound quality? is it useful to buy any new gear before pushing my actual system to his true limit ?


Except the ubiquitous and " generally" useful Geoffkait, it seems that my thread will die by my own hands.... I hope some other guys with experience and experiments already in a road going toward the same conclusion as mine will lead this thread...

Generally useful geoffkait send Greetings🖖 from future. Maybe not your future, but future, nevertheless. Future have no audio forum so I come back here, mostly for jokes. It’s funny. When I was little boy and told people I was gonna be a comedian, everyone laughed at me. Well, no one’s laughing now!

Oh, I’ve been meaning to ask, how’s your experiments with mind-matter interaction coming along? You know, the .... message labels.

Your friend and narrator, Placebo Domingo

I will go with it soon but now is not the time  for me... 

Do you imagine what people here will say if I report here with these "crazy experiments" ? That will kill this  dying thread, and the goal of this thread is to be hijack by more knowledgeable people than me for the benefit of all (me included)… There is no pleasure for myself ranting alone here.... After all there is not many threads here with this set of goals isn't it?

mahgister, I am still reading with interest your experiences in your meticulous experimentation. I once again doff my hat and raise a glass of yerba mate to you!
