I return about one of every ten tweaks that I audition.
I always let my ears be the judge, every single time.
Chips, fuses, cd and room treatments, enhancers of various kinds...
it doesn't matter what they are made of or what I
think the value of the material with which they are made.
If they do the job, I want to use them!
All that counts is, "will this product further my objective of
hearing emotionally satisfying music?"
I would much rather invest hundreds in a tweak than thousands
in a new piece of electronics. Because the tweak, if it is a
"keeper," will help me maximize the performance of the whole system,
making it possible to further enjoy what I already own!
And, replacing a piece of electronics without the benefit of the tweak might
leave me with limitations that I was trying to overcome.
I look at experimenting by "trying new things" as the most cost effective
way to get the most of what I have. I will not reject or comment about any new product without first plugging it in to my system, to hear the difference it may make. I don't care about science or measurements; I only care
about the experience of listening to music, and how it enriches my life.
There is no risk in being open minded, since most such products have a generous return policy. To reject a product or concept having to do with
music without auditioning it... makes no sense to me at all.
And I am not sure why ANYONE would make an entry on this forum
("I Just know it's BS... but I Haven't Tried It Yet" and elsewhere) simply to
advertise their ignorance.
