Any tweaks I'm missing?

Then speaking about upgrading electronics is at least half of the times be influenced by marketing engineering and more than that throwing his money to the wind, it is paying too much, more of the times... An audio system, a mass of electronics if you wanted, exist at his own true OPTIMAL potential capabilities ONLY in the controlled embeddings of a room and of a house, and of the audio grid, call these necessary means of controls : "tweaks", tuning, controls, treatment, cleaning, or " snake oil", that’s is the way it is and it must be, except for non-thinking mind...No controls-cleaning-tuning-tweaks etc , equals no optimal sound, for most of us most of the times... The exception is the 100,000 dollars system with dedicated room treatment included and even that, I does not like necessarily all of them sonically speaking...It is always better to makes that happen one step at a time for our own ears by ourself...

>>>>Wow, Wow, Wow!! You have accidentally stumbled onto one of the biggest secrets in all of audio - the Hierarchy of Sound. This is very hush hush 🤫 so please don’t spread this around. Loose 👄 sink 🚢

The Hierarchy of Sound proposes that relatively inexpensive, I.e., cheap, systems can outperform moderately expensive systems (plug and play) with attention to technical issues that exist in all audio systems. By the same token, tweaked moderately expensive systems can usually outperform expensive high end systems 💰💰 Since there is no such thing as the 🔜Absolute Sound🔚 - the curve of performance is hyperbolic - owners of expensive high end systems can get in on the action and tweak their systems to unheard of heights, as it were. Obviously high end manufacturers definitely don’t want anyone to discover the secret of the Hierarchy of Sound. That’s why this is very hush hush. 🤫

I think you are right Geoffkait… Hat raising ...


It is the simple alternative: You takes the matters in your own hands, the more you can handle the better it is, or others will handle it for you...

It is not good engineer versus snake oil, it is free choices for ourself and our own ears or total dependence...


No debate here, it is simple, and it is precisely the reason the society of audio lovers exist, partaking freely their experiences, and experiments and not only impressions after the purchase of something...

Between the "Do-it-yourself entirely" and the" ready- made- out of the box and ready-to-use", the space of creativity is vast...

Guys! use your your technically unexplainable snake oil, just don't shove it onto the gullible here to make the big buck profits for the manufacturers you shill for. Look at this poor sod's 1st post and what it's done to him, have you no moral sense.

I’m seeking the experience of others, of which you have none on the items mentioned.
Single minded, one experience, which then elevates you to expert status.

Assumptions are the mother of all stuff ups (ex Steven Seagal).
I’ve not dismissed some comments as you wrongly think.
Will remove some items when I have the space.
And to be sure, I won’t listen to a thing you ’tell me.’
