It’s all a matter of degree


It may be stating the obvious, but each A’goner will have his own idea of how far he must go to satisfy his addiction.  To one member, enjoyment can be obtained with just a setup and no tweaks. Another will add a few or several and be satisfied.  Then there are those who must go on an all out quest for nirvana which may never be sated.

Which camp are you in?

I try different things in different systems and in different rooms all at the same time. You might call me a hi fi bigamist. I like all kinds of sound but some better than others.

I'm in the camp that throws in a pair of Bose 901's when the sickness gets to be too much.

I read all the magazines, scour every post on this blamed website, and contemplate what I might do next to improve my system. Then I turn on my stereo and just enjoy the damned thing.

I like simple systems so just quality basics for me but I'll work hard at getting everything right. 

"tweaks" are secondary addition to a system which is supposed to give to the naive consumers his optimal working without ever being optimally embedded...

"tweaks" are most of the times costly ready made products sold to passive consumers as partal solutions at best...

 

We need a basic method to embed any system mechanically, electrically and especially acoustically...

Knowing that the question of the OP become now meaningless because between those who plug their system in the wall and dont ask for anything more, and those who use some "tweaks" only , and those who go for more "tweaks" chasing their tails, the same ignorance is partaked by them ...

We need a basic method not the buying of upgrades or of costly "tweaks"...

A method is not a sum of "tweaks"....

Acoustic especially is the audio sleeping princess...
