When I say that I'm more qualified in how not to tweak a system, I mean this: If you try to tweak a system in terms of getting the treble,etc., that you know is there, you are making a big mistake. That's why I am critical of reviewers who use a certain discs for a certain thing(i.e., the bass). Tweaking like that is a mistake. But, on to other things. I currently have my amps sitting on 4-inch teak on top of my preamp. This is not a proper tweak(per Mapleshade, and others). The amp needs to be on the floor(with proper support there). I also have very tall speakers that aren't wide(the original DCM Time Windows, Newbee). They would sit on a rug. Instead, I use a Mapleshade 2-inch mapleboard with Isonodes under the Maple. I would suggest that one does not put tall, thin,light speakers directly on an almost 2-inch rug.
How to tweak a system.
I said that I would start this thread about a week ago. This is where you don't have to be rich to improve your system. Let me start by saying that I'm pretty good at anti-skate. This doesn't include unipivots or thread and weights. Look under Mana Acoustics Forum, "How to setup a Mana Table by ear". I also want to mention(and this may be pertaining to my cd player), that if you get digital glare, try lowering the volume. Volume is misunderstood. There is a certain volume per disc, or lp, that is correct. No it is not the volume that allows you to hear something that you know is there. My question has to do with speaker placement. I'm hoping that someone who has similiar expertise to my anti-skate and volume statements, has something to say about speaker placement. Let's go guys! We need good information here!
