First things first. My fundamental objection to your tweaks: Exactly
the same as my objection to ABX. I know of no validation of either by a
controlled experiment. And controlled experiment support is the only
basis on which I'll grant consent to a procedure, drug, treatment.
You wouldn't have needed any "validation" to the "tweak" if it had
worked for you Ludowic, or perhaps if it had worked in your environment.
The way hifi sound becomes so natural and relaxed just takes all the
need for validation and testing out, leaves just intimate enjoyment of
music behind. You just don't need to ask "is this true" anymore...
But my "validation" came in the form of a friend visiting and commenting
on the "remarkable" sound of the system just yesterday, I quote "was
this thing always this good?". He of course had no idea whatsoever about
any "tweak". And while the thing itself is actually hidden underneath
the preamp so nothing is visible, I am not going to disclose anything to
anybody again what with the first attempt resulting with the horses ass
jokes and all. I know selfish, yes, but also wise.
He performed an uncontrolled experiment that confirmed that most people
survive any epidemic.
Yes with things like medicine, demanding strict scientific (at times
even in that field risking things might be called for though) validation
is a must, ok. But this is just audio; music; relaxation, so relax.
Results
are valid for Fella and De Wal and long may they enjoy them.
Well thank you. That's an enlightened POW and I wouldn't have expected
anything less from you.
There are dumberthendumborgs around ridiculing me with the same type of
words I *myself* used on SHP in my time, how dumb is that? Been there,
done that, times are'a changin, etc...
In fact Fella and De Wal could do it at
home
The thing is ... (here's me being honest again, watch the dumborg do the
malfunctioning robot breakdance and clank and clink and jangle with
_*insignificant*_ insults now) : I am very much so *afraid* of losing
that "magic" for the lack of a better word. I just had to hide the thing
underneath the preamp before I can find a way to explain it to the wife,
and it's "effect" somewhat lessened. But going on some blinding
testing rampage with it is too much of a risk. I really do not want to
risk losing the whatever magic it is that made my system sound like
something I have *never* experienced before. And beleive me I have
listened to a bunch of extremely high end pricey systems in my time.
None of them had the same relaxed and natural and "justified" sounds as
compared to what I am listening to in the privacy of my home these days.
I accept that some of the tension, the feeling, the romance in some of
the music is also stripped away with this wierd tweak, but the insight
and clarity it brings surpasses it all.
Shame it didn't work out for you though.
And then please let's get back towards
exchange of "subjective" views about equipment, recordings etc.
When was this place ever a forum for that with arnii and his zombie
dumborgs clanking and screeching around?
