Inert dead oak speaker stands. May have deadened vibration but also deadened sound.
Tweaks you got rid of because they were not effective (enough)?
There are some audiophiles for whom cost is no object; they buy what they wish and every single tweak and gadget which promises to improve the sound. And the industry is all too happy to produce such tweaks -- often made of expensive materials with elaborate engineering explanations. Those who question the value of these tweaks are frequently accused of being "naysayers" who are either too ignorant or insensate to realize that "everything matters."
Of course, money spent one place cannot be spent elsewhere; expenditures on tweaks take the place of other more central factors affecting the sound. In some cases, those tweaks are worth it; you can hear the difference, and that $400 (or whatever) really could not have improved your speakers or sub or amp, etc.
So, the question here is simple: Which tweak have you tried which, after some experience and reflection, you realized was either *not* effective or not the most effective way to improve your system?

If you dont have the concept of "electricity" how can you explain and perceive adequately the spontaneous dead frog legs movement? It this intellectualism? If so i apologize and will let the thread rest.... :) Audio is not only and mainly about "tastes" there exist some simple facts and concepts...."tweaks" are not a matter of taste.... And the demarcation between what makes a system work and what improve it is NOT a clear line.... My E... concept adress elementarily what it is necessary to do for an audio system to work adequately at his utmost potential... |
mahgister3,548 posts10-15-2020 6:21amNot only we dont have a definition of a what a "tweak" is, but it seems that we dont even have a clue about a simple fact: <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The facts are mahgister, YOUR ideas are based on a "philosophy, or ideology", that YOU have developed over the last two years or so. I think with ALL the information you have provided, I have yet to read a single thing you’ve actually done, beginning to end, and how and what materials you used to do it.. I really don’t LIKE your embedding ideas, because you won’t explain it. Plane and simple as that. You sir are learning... I admire your tenacity, but "Audiofiling" has no "isums" in it... You have WAY to much "ICING" and not near enough "CAKE" I suggest before you go spouting how your 500.00 system is what it is because of "embeddings", your own private way of describing things that have been described for over 100 years by others, in other TERMS. YOU learn what a "TWEAK" is, not me, or most of the others... "A Tweak" is ANYTHING other than equipment or cabling. It can also be a "WAY" of doing things. BTW a room is optional, where you place your equipment, is ALL "Tweak" I say you have a NICE 500.00 dollar system.. When it all boils down to the last word.. BETTER EQUIPMENT, AND "How it’s used" is the only answer to better Sound Quality. "Tweaks" are icing on the cake, NOT "Embeddings’, what ever that is.. Respectfully, I really don’t need a philosophy lesson, from a "2 year old audiophiler", with a whole new way of doing things... It’s called "Tweaks" If your nice, I’ll send you another 500.00 worth of equipment.. You keep saying how you have no money. I’ll pitch in.. What do ya need? I’ll pay the postage too.. What do you want? Kinda like Bruce Lee's book, that no one could understand, BUT HIM... Regards... |
I made a thread about my simple homemade experiments... It is easy to find.... :) Thanks for your offer for another system free of charge.... I think it is simple to understand that any part of an audio system vibrate and produce internal resonance... Any component at any price... It is also simple to verify that ANY electrical grid in any house create a too high level of noise... It is simple also to verify the impactful change that any materials can produce in a room acoustically... Calling them " embeddings" is a simple way to resume the 3 dimensions in a single concept or word... My best regards to you.....I will stay silent for the rest of this thread....I hate to annoy people.... |
