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.

I don't understand why people are condoning and even encouraging the OP.  I read his original post as a cry for help.

I’m not interested in what you think of me


Of course he's interested in what people think of him.  The defensiveness is obvious evidence of his insecurity and neediness.  Unfortunately, I don't know how to really help him.  I don't think he's hit bottom yet and he's definitely not going to admit that he has a problem.  If I were him I would hope a friend would come over and rip out everything and make me listen to my system "naked".  Sure, I'd probably puke me guts out for a few days as the tweaking cravings subside, but in the long run I'd be better off.  Let's just hope he eventually finds the one true path to enjoying listening to music.

BTW, other than the tweaks I think he has a pretty nice system.  I would like to hear more about the DAC.

Your reflexion made me think about the story of someone asking for help because his house need paint, and some unknown guy passing near him say to him, yes, I will helping you, but before recognize with me that your house does not need new paint at all... Guess how, most of us, will interpret this story?

My best to you and to all with my apology for this short story... :)

I bet you can help him by not posting any more nonsense....
Come to think of it, that would help everyone!
Perhaps you and george can pm back and forth for a few hours and congratulate each other for being the smartest guys in audio.

Hi, mahgister. A good analogy my friend!
