I use only homemade device of my own.... NO buying....
There is no MAGIC in controlling vibrations, the electrical noise floor and room acoustic...
All those publicity about the way to create a Hi-Fi experience only with money are largely false...This come from SELLERS....
New design and costlier one are better than my vintage yes, but their margin of superiority cannot exceed the abyss between a well embedded audio system and one which is not well embedded in the mechanical, electrical and acoustical dimensions...
Almost nobody ever teach that on these forums but all people boast about the branded names of their choices for proof of superiority.... 😁 And they all boasted about their own without realizing that others are right also about their own favorite.....
It is ridiculous...Acting like sellers is not the way....
Yes some branded name are better, but the BASIC is not the recommendation of the "alleged" best branded name, the basic is HOW to install an audio system, what i called a set of embeddings controls....Not a " Tweak"....An embedding control is primary not a secondary addition... An embedding control is homemade and custom made for a SPECIFIC house and system and specific ears...An embedding control is devised by listening experiments...An embedding control is specific, a "tweak" is generic....
An embedding control cost peanuts....."tweak" cost money....
For the OP question if he want to change something and only one thing the ACOUSTIC settings of the room is the only upgrading possibility and the most powerful one after that the electrical noisy grid of the house and the vibrations/ resonance in the speakers mainly......... Any change of gear before these three set of controls will be a waste of money and an "illusory" upgrading with small benefits...
Rule number one: we must know the real working potential of what we already own before changing it.....
