I agree with what you say, particularly on the build your own.A few others:
No one part upgrade will bring a "night and day" difference to your system, but the sum of the upgrades can, or they can cancel each other out.Bad circuits sound bad, good circuits sound good if implemented properly.
If you are listening for an audio effect to prove to yourself or others that what you did is right, you aren't listening to the music, so it can't be right.
CD was not implemented properly, 16/44.1 was just barely enough to cover the audible spectrum. But we can still sense the higher frequencies, especially when they're missing. A spec that allows for expansion would have kept CD alive forever, well maybe not. But we'd at least have 24/96 on current releases. Imagine running DOS with a 640kb limit on an Intel Core 2 Duo. That's a lot of wasted available bandwidth. That's where we are with CD.
Some designs last forever, others are obsolete in a year or two or five. Just look at your HT receiver vs. your tube amp.
Some of the best tweaks are free. My CD player is damped with a floor tile, my phono preamp is damped with a plastic refrigerator magnet clip.
