Tweaks, money pit or real value?

@hiendmmoe "The thing that seems to always follow them is how soon I seem to not recognize the improvement anymore."

Are you saying that the sound has regressed back to where it was prior to the insertion of the tweak? Are you expecting continual incremental improvement even after some reasonable period of tweak break-in? Could it be that what you are experiencing is simply a matter of having become accustomed to the sound post tweak "break-in" and there are no further incremental benefits of said tweak?

Some of you guys have 20 or more tweaks. You would think that if you added them all together some unsuspecting person would hear your system and get their head knocked off because it would be so good. I’m curious why that never happens and that tweaks don’t add up that way. I think the author is saying he feels that there’s more subtraction going on than addition.

Why not experiment yourself and created your own devices at low cost inspired by others journey?

If i could anybody could....

Most gear upgrade move and no tweaks addition  will compete with acoustic treatment but especially with acoustic mechanical control with Helmhotz method...

Then before eupgrading there is plenty of thing to do if what we own is relatively good to begin with for sure...

I have plenty of tweaks.

As with anything, the additions blend into a new normal. Some changes build on one another.

What I do notice is my enjoyment when listening has steadily increased with most of the additions.

I have many tweaks in my system and the one that never has become the new norm is the Gaia isolators on my Focal Aria 936s . I still hear what they do for my system and I am happy that I bought them. It’s been two years of great listening!
