True or False?


Many high-end manufactures deny the benefits of tweaking their components with upgraded power cables, fuses, etc. We all can agree that even the best speakers respond to room placement but is it true or not true in (your experiences) that the better your audio components are, the less they respond to various tweaks?

Room corrections are not tweaks in my view. That is room correction. Not a tweak to me.
Vibrations controls is possible at low cost, it is not a "tweak", it is an embedding control, not a secondary addition, a fundamental necessity...

Decreasing the electrical noise floor is possible at low cost also... It is not a "tweak" it is a fundamental necessity...


Room passive material treatment and ACTIVE mechanical control is not a "tweak" but a prime absolute necessity to hear our system at his optimal working peak...

"Tweaks" are most of the times pejorative qualification for the "supertitious" people who believe that their costly system can work optimally without any "embeddings controls" like in the publicity they read before buying them ... They bought it, plug it and boast about it ....

And before buying costly "tweaks" try to replicate them yourself at no cost.... Often it is possible...It is way more rewarding than buying....And more fun....

😊
FALSE, the cost doesn't matter. Tweaks are useless in an inexpensive, moderate or expensive system.
Are you born with innate audio knowledge?

Vibrations?

 High electrical Noise floor?

Acoustic?

That did not ring a bell in your cranium at all?

Stop calling that pejoratively "tweaks" and think about common sense solution .... They could cost nothing...

 


Regarding manufacturers and aftermarket power cords, last year PS Audio started recommending Audioquest for use with their components.

BUT someone that’s using cabling to modify the way something sounds... NO!
Very right....

Not because cables are all alike but because they cannot beat control of vibration neither compete with the decreasing of the electrical noise floor, and beat acoustic passive treatment and compare to active acoustic control...

CAbles change are SMALL compared to all that...

I dont understand fixation with cables, those who negate that they are different which is evident and audible and those who pay a big amount of money vouching that they transform all their system...

The 2 groups war between each other blind to the more important way to improve their system....

Incredible!....

Our friend mechanician is right, the power supply and the electrical grid of the house are way more impactful....  


Ok, so what I've gathered here is that the better a component is, the less it needs a tweak yet the more it is affected (not necessarily improved) by one.
