Audiophile experimentation is the key to Tweakers' Asylum. Posters with no respect for DIY and/or commercial modifications, no real interest in the topic of shared experiences, observations, insights, pertinent details, and general information with fellow AA Inmates have little reason to post in Tweakers' Asylum. It is not a matter of exclusivity or intolerance, it's about constructive discussions not being challenged by those who are essentially posting as naysayers, who often demand scientific proof of one notion or another rather than actually participating in the hopefully productive flow of this forum.
A good place to start in the realm of audiophile tweaks is to upgrade the AC outlet(s) installed at the wall for your audio system, especially if you currently have a 69 cent contractor grade AC outlet installed at the wall.
If that notion doesn't float your boat, there's plenty of other AA forums that might satisfy your believable interests.
Cheers, Duster

A lot of science came out of experimentation. Engineering is basically the attempt to harness science to the human condition or, perhaps better, to take the human condition and attempt to define it (typically through measurement and defining a means of numerically scaling the effect).
Take Galileo for example. It was common sense before he came around and did the experiment, that a heavier object would fall faster than a lighter one. Not so after he did experiment with the inclined plane.
The field of audio is still largely uncharted, IMHO. We need more observers, even for the most outlandish ideas ( take Bud Purvine for example). A simple observation can lead to what may seem a small change but can be significant in many systems.
I am not following the "tweakers" posts anymore, but I just happened to check it out today. Experimenting and tweaking are good, but you leave one step out...that is presenting your findings with facts. I don't want to argue. Just think about this.
the only 'facts' i could care about are my subjectives. have enough of them and it tends -toward- objective. but who cares about explaining? the real world experience of a change brought on by sometimes trivial looking and someimes weird looking approaches is the goal. the change. not the explanation of it.
the "how to" - not the "why"?
"why" is just an argument word anyway.
cloudwalker,
I tried to tell you, but you just wouldn't listen.

So, let me get this straight ... if you do not posses or have access to a state of the art lab, a degree in electrical engineering or physics, or the time and wherewithal to conduct rigorous double-blind tests, it can't be true? I think you were right earlier ... stay out of the tweakers' asylum - and don't let the door bang you on the butt on your way out.
I always have a strong desire to respond to certain types of posts that basically follow a pattern of I don't think there's a scientific explanation for what you're saying/have observed/are reporting therefore it's invalid. But, I'm not as polite as you are, therefore I refrain from saying anything. There's a reason this is named Tweakers' Asylum. We may be crazy but we know what we hear. :)
