This thread made me think of something that has always puzzled me. Many
reviewers in many magazines say they hear slight changes - either with
tweaks or equipment. How many slight changes add up to something not
slight? I bet most reviewers have a dozen or more changes in their
system that added a slight difference. I wonder if removing all of them
in unison would reveal a difference the average audiophile could easily
hear?

Hard to say, of course. OTOH, I am not much of a tweaker and find
most of these small differences almost dispensible since their effects
are less than those induced by temperature/humidity swings or the
physiological variations of the listener. IMHO, of course.
