If you don’t try them all you could be missing out. 😉Love it, I’ve got a cupboard full not mentioned, SEND ME THE MONEY!!!!
Any tweaks I'm missing?
I have lots of ’tweaks’ added to my system.
Is there anything I’m missing?
A small cupboard, so no power conditioner possible.
A smallish budget, so most probably no Gate to try.
One small request...
Can the negative knobs please refrain from commenting.
I’m not interested in what you think of me, the products you have not tried, or my spending habits.
Only those who have experiences of possible additions, would be much appreciated.

discopants- A good experiment to try is play your system moderate volume and pinch the speaker cable going in to your speakers between your thumb and forefinger to feel the vibrations. Then use a 1cm wide piece of the thin tape around the speaker cable and try again you will barely detect any vibration. Experiment! Love it! I'll try it tonight! One of the greatest yet seldom mentioned benefits of tweaking is the way it forces you to listen and evaluate. Tweaks are misunderstood. Tweaks do not "make" your system sound better. YOU make your system sound better by using the right tweaks the right way. My very first tweak was a phone book (remember those?) placed under my CD player. Had to strain and concentrate but the subtle improvement was there. Put another one on top, strain and concentrate and yeah, another barely perceptible improvement. Probably nobody else would ever notice, improvement so slight only probably only being intimately familiar with the system let me even hear it at all. Not putting it out there as a recommended tweak, that's for sure, but as a listening exercise. Because then later when I heard BDR Cones, WOW! Now THAT'S a TWEAK! And being already used to listening and evaluating so closely it was a wealth of new characteristics to work on. |
I just pick one of these "so called tweaks" from your list that intrigued me. Akiko Fuse Box Tuning Chip. https://www.akikoaudio.com/en/akiko-audio/tuning-chips/512-akiko-audio-fuse-box-tuning-chip-english For god sake’s man, 50 pound ($100aud)!! it’s a bloody sticker!!!!!!! I showed the first post at our Audio club meeting last night, general consensus was, you were "taking the piss" is this correct?? Are you looking for a record of all time largest reactions to a thread??? |
