Re: To tweak, or not to tweak ? - Tom Nousaine

Thanks for the comments...and no offense taken.

Yes I do belive that tweaks do cause a difference. And more expensive equipment do sound better. If I can hear it so clearly...why can't a test equipment detect it ? I am just guessing run a spectrum analyzer between the two systems..and compare the graphs ? Why can't cable manufacturers and tweak mnaufacturers show the differene in graphs ? I mean it all makes sense what they are trying to do with the tweaks (vibration controls etc...).

There comes to a point when buying expensive cables becomes just plain silly ($4000 per foot !!!). Copper is copper...yes there are different grades of copper that could cause a difference. Yes better connectors will offer the least resistance thus better sound. But upto what point? Spending $40 on a set of interconnects is enough. Is out ears so good to hear the 'minute' difference for the cables $40 > ?? I surely can't hear them...

Just my thoughts. But the reason why I bring up the article is beacuse...I cannot ever do that 'test'. And Tom did it and published it in StereoReview (which doesn't mean anyhting)...why weren't those panalists(not StereoReview employees) able to hear a difference of equipment of that massive price difference ?

I think to me it would be more intreting to put mass fi components up against the Geek system...to see if there is a difference.
