Tweaks, money pit or real value?

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!

What I've experienced experimenting with footers is that they typically make the system sound different but not better. At first, the novelty of a change leads me to conclude there's been a net improvement but with time I realize I've merely exchanged one shortcoming for another. I eventually happened upon a line of products that, to my ears, improved resolution and imparted an overall sense of ease and this brought my experimenting to an end. I could envision trying a higher level within this company's products to see whether the benefits were worth the added cost, but I don"t feel compelled or driven to do so.

Money pit but it's your money spend the way you want. 

Out with all the 'tweaks,' no more audio rack, footers, dedicated AC lines, AC power conditioners, room treatments, back to generic power cords, IC's, speaker cables, digital cables, streaming out of general service computers and no cares about streaming network, linear and internal power supplies, capacitors, resistors, transformers, etc., all manner of vinyl setup tweaks, all don't matter. Man, I can't wait to hear my new 'improved' system.

And since this all doesn't matter, how bout just getting rid of any equipment considered audiophile as it's essentially tweaked generic equipment.

So, tell me exactly what is considered tweaks? One person's tweaks are another's essentials. Throwing out the baby with the bath water may be problematic.

Some tweaks work better than others in my system.

If it doesn't work for me, I return it for a refund or sell it off.
