Adding a “safe haven” forum for discussion of tweaks?
I think we can all agree that threads about tweaks like fuses, stones, mats, power conditioners etc. stir up all kinds of controversy, conflict and ill will.
Short of banning discussion of these controversial topics, is there another solution to this problem?
I got this idea from teo_audio’s comments about a solution implemented at Canuck audio on another thread:
“Canuck audio tames it by having a cable and tweak area for threads. Where any counter to the idea that such things are functional (in attempt or in analysis), is not tolerated.
Meaning.. threads where people discuss tweaks, or mods or cables and so on, if a naysayer posts there, and interrupts the discussion, in any way, they get their posts deleted. And...if the given naysayer can’t hold their tongue, after said deletion-ish warnings..... they will, rapidly, via any repeats in behavior, find themselves banned from the forum. They have to grow up, or get lost.”
You may not like parts of his description, but I think the idea has real merit.
I propose a new “safe haven” sub-forum, with some special rules, for the discussion of tweaks. These rules would ONLY apply to this specific sub-forum, the current rules would continue as they are in all other areas.
The special rules would be along these lines:
Posts that categorically deny the possibility of tweaks having any effect or value are not allowed.
Posts proclaiming tweaks to be “scams” “cons” etc. are not allowed.
Posts that directly state, or imply, that another poster is lying, are not allowed.
Posts that make absolute negative statements like “Science proves it can’t work.” are not allowed.
Posts demanding measurements, controlled listening tests etc. are not allowed.
Posts that express skepticism (without making absolute negative statements), ask tough questions, or request more information are welcome.
Of course, some who hold the above opinions may object, but they would still be able to express those opinions in all other parts of the forum, just like they always have.
What do you think?
"But dont forget that poetry originate with the cristallized metaphor of each words in the gesturing expressing body and not only from the mouth... Poetry is ORAL experience FIRST, written poetry is a derivation..." YES YES and I am feeling all metaphysical and poetical.

Where did i recommend to buy anything costing more than peanuts for audio experience? And i dont sell any product myself .... And my main advice is to look at Helmholtz acoustic method which is pure science... Then you are an .... or a liar... I restrict myself not to use the word idiot because you are probably not one ....Pick one that will suit you better...

I can’t fathom why either, no how, no way. Stumped! I had a PrimaLuma HP using a fancy fuse and it never blew. My suspicion is that those amps are not known to push tubes hard. The Rogers amp pushes tubes hard and I sent my one back to the mothership to get modified for using the KT 170 tubes. I once asked the birth father about a fuse upgrade and he advised not to. (I purchased the Rogers "used" from him. Deals can be had.) Maybe don’t do it means just that? I'm squeamish about a 2x raise of fuse value for the amp as I’m sure that if a mishap occurred the lifetime warranty would be kaput.
