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 just want to make sure I understand the naysayers.

My tweaks have been:

1. Cleaning up the power

Are the negative Norman's saying this is not worthwhile?

2. Equipment isolation.

How about that?

3. Jitter control, and USB-S/PDIF converter, reclocking.

Hogwash?

4. Improved cabling

A waste of money?

5. The slightly less easy to explain tweaks.


Is it all of this that I should throw in the bin? What if I've noticed an improvement in the delivery and retrieval of music?

The couple tweaks you just singled out of the multitude you have, may not be snake oil or voodoo as they have technical merit and explanations behind them that can be easily discussed by engineers/technicians and designers that do back them, that are also easy to understand with their measurements they give.
But you have many more than just those that are snake oil and voodoo. See the Electronic Engineering technical reports on them, if you can find any.

So sunshine get off your horse and you figure out what is a tweak and what is BS voodoo snake oil, it’s not hard if one is not inept and or gullible.

Get off your horse doesn’t make sense in any context.
I think you find the term is ’get off your High horse.’

And if I’m gullible? That’s my prerogative (means that’s my right).

I’m not forcing anything on others. But you are.
Unfortunately, you cannot see that you are doing exactly what you are accusing me of doing; forcing your opinions onto others.

You are a charlatan George.
It is something you should be proud of (once you've looked up what it means).
