Tom E,
I respect audiophile experience that dwarfs mine (not a high bar) and daily observe how decades in this hobby can lead to both deeper knowledge/ perspective on the one hand and a potential for staleness from over-exposure that can turn into sour, 'know-all' negativity on the other. Assume that we are all first brought here by a passion for bringing the joy of listening to live music into our listening/ living rooms generally through improvements to reproduction techniques overlooked by manufacturers. Perhaps those using cynicism, skepticism, and mockery to disparage contributions of others that may have the potential to advance members' knowledge even a tiny step forward are showing how their over-exposure to the hobby has killed their passion. They then unconsciously set about raining, in some cases hailing, on posters whose reminder of their long-lost passion now excessively irritates them.
I post concepts/ideas that improve the sound quality with my system in this environment and the tweaks need to be adapted to best suit the system/ environment of others. Not being finished products, their individual implementation is the direct responsibility of those modifying them. When I managed to break a $267 LFD LE4 Interconnect PCB Board - Phono Block SGL 1043 when following a tweak posted here, that outcome had nothing whatsoever to do with the poster who remains blissfully unaware of it.
We all have different risk tolerances. Flagging the level of undeclared risk in a tweak comment is indeed valuable while being mindful that many are so initially intimidated by the whole exercise of opening up and tinkering with their equipment (often under warranty) that it can be over-stated so that they will never summon the nerve to start. That would rob beginners of remarkable improvements in sound reproduction at little cost to their nerves (when proceeding at their own cautious pace) and at modest expense.
Suspect that your much greater experience is the principal motivation for rubbishing my tweaks. You likely cannot believe that they can conceivably have any value so these concepts must be prejudicially dismissed out-of-hand without testing. I am no threat to your audiophile expertise whatsoever and would prefer friendly accommodation that would bring out the positive side of your considerable experience and leave us free to concentrate on enjoying this passion without distraction. It's up to you. And do share your unpublicized tweaks with us.
Peace,
DG
