It's often hard to tell on the internet so I have to ask:  Was your last post a joke, or do you really make/use the tweaks you described?

mahgister,

It’s often hard to tell on the internet so I have to ask: Was your last post a joke, or do you really make/use the tweaks you described?

Prof I understand perfectly well your question...No need to apologize, you are very tactful and polite...If I was in your shoes and seeing my system and reading my description, I will think the same thing that you think of...

But yes this system is born with my desire for a true HI_FI system, but without money, it is difficult to bought that... I create it myself for peanuts with used components, and mostly with tweaks of my own design, inspired by many audiophile company that sells tweaks at too much high cost for me... Then I create, sometimes originally, by listening experiment,for example my own stones cabled grid in my audio room...Nobody gives me this idea but that works for my ears... I create also my singing resonators that works in my small audio room , astoundingly...This is the story in one word... My best to you Prof...


By the way I post images of my system without fearing ridicule,because my point is  with almost no money, with some basic understanding, and listening experiments, and very low cost modifications of the room, house, and electrical grid, and components, we all can gain HI-FI at low cost... HI-fi is simply for me  listening music with smiles without being discouraged by the 2-d low resolution.non holographic imaging, and unnatural rendering of timbre that I was afflicted with my system before my homemade modifications...My system is not the best in the world, but it is now so good for me that I do not resent anymore not being able to afford  anything more now...Invention even in a modest way is the mother of joy...

Be careful, we don’t want to wise up these guys too much. It can serve no good porpoise. 🐬 Wasn’t it WC Fields who said never smarten up a chump? I only mean that in a nice way.

Joke. Two guys are sitting next to each other on the airplane. One guy is looking out the window and says, hey, those people down there look like ants! The second guy says, they are ants. We haven’t left the ground yet.

By the way cables, and power cord are last in my list of priorities....They are system dependant, and before your audio room are completed by some treatment, your house electrical grid cleaner, your audio system under vibrations controls and more, it is waste of money to buy high cost one...At last perhaps it is an idea to try some... And if your system is sufficiently refined and  even with ordinary ears you will hears the difference... It is my own experience....For sure what is big money for one is peanuts for another tough and choice of cables are not only soundwise dependant but money dependant...

I apologize for my 2 cents remarks...

I understand for sure that Blumartini is there with a complete hi-fi system already and it is interesting to know the experience of others  I thanks him for the thread… My best to all,,,

Ok, thanks for clarifying that for me.  I have no desire to ridicule your system. No one needs to turn in to a scientist in this hobby.  I certainly can't "objectively verify" the performance of everything in my system, and I'm fine with that.    I'm glad you are having fun!
