True or False?

Ahhh, the Scientismists are at it again. Science has all the answers according to this "religion" Yet when they are backed in a corner they will say "science doesn’t have all the answers. Yet when someone tells of an experience they disagree with, they ridicule it, calling on science which they already have said doesn’t have all the answers So which is it? Either you rely on science exclusively, or not. This is the conundrum each one of the scientismists put forth because they always seem to mock experience they disagree with . No ones experience is good enough unless it agrees with the Scientismists POV.

But the very word, to "Know" is based on experience. which I and many others have. AAMOF, Science itself is based on experience. But the Scientismists tell us that the very thing that makes science (experience) is totally dismissed when one of us claims our experience all because we don’t have a machine to measure something to tell us what we like or don’t like. Funny thing is that they can tell us about what they have read but I see little or no statements of their experience. Is it because they have no direct experience?

There is much more to add but with dogmatic religious people whether it be Christian, Jew, Buddhist or Scientism, it becomes a futile effort because of Dunning Kruger syndrome which dominates most dogma.

Obviously a more resolving system will resolve more including anything resulting from some change in the system. No mystery there.

At that point, the "benefits" of tweaking further (other than to adapt to room acoustics) are mostly subjective and determined by personal preference. Once a system is highly resolving (and dynamic), the rest is basically room acoustics and seasoning to personal taste because you have achieved low distortion and noise, the things that muck with an accurate reproduction.

Again though, if you do not first address the fundamentals of putting together a system that is both resolving and dynamic, no noise and minimal distortion, you will be seasoning ie tweaking forever because tweaks cannot produce what is not there to start with.


Or you just may like to tweak out of curiosity. More power to you! It’s only when people talk solely about tweaking and mostly ignore or discredit the fundamentals of assembling a system that works well to-start that a red flag will go up for me.

Sometimes people may tweak to try to get all or most recordings to sound some way that they expect or want them to all sound as opposed to how they actually do sound. Big mistake!!!! You will be spinning your wheels forever trying to make everything sound like some ideal. It’s delusional to think that can really happen. Every recording is different. If you can hear the differences clearly you are in a very good place!

@artemus_5, Superchargers work, cable elevators do not. You are more than welcome to do anything you want to your system. My problem comes when you try to sell that BS to someone else. 
I tweak my system by modifying it's frequency response and adjusting speaker location with impulse testing. I do not do it with silly cables or overpriced tinker toy garbage. I suggest if you really want to tweak your system get one of these https://www.parts-express.com/Dayton-Audio-OmniMic-V2-Acoustic-Measurement-System-390-792

Winner!!!
Most ignorant comment of the year (so far).

"FALSE, the cost doesn't matter. Tweaks are useless in an inexpensive, moderate or expensive system."

Question for some of the responses. Are your listening skills better in hearing the tweaks? Or is the delivery making the sound better and your listening skills are the same? Reason I ask is I have noticed this mostly in my car. I think the combination of better bandwidth they are broadcasting with and the stations using higher quality dac’s have me hearing things I can’t recall hearing just 5 years ago. I am getting older and don't think the normal progression in hearing is it gets better with age. I am in the camp of little tweaks can make a difference but don't think it can be attributed to my ears getting better.
