No I'm not. In fact I'm very selective when it comes to my hardware and how it's hooked up. It's just that the strip down tweaks have never proven drastic enough to me to take much interest given their extreme downsides for my usage.
I'm still entertaining the idea a less is more crippling tweak may someday emerge which will prove worthy in my opinion but for example consider the number of points in the FIR filters used in convolver room correction algorithms, something I'm apt to play with on occasion. More points is better. The way to get more is with more compute power not less. Many argue that this software adds quality to the listening experience. Crippling the machine as I've seen is becoming popular with some will limit the effectiveness of getting the most out of it. I also play video games. Crippling the machine does not make them better either.
