It's a fair point. If you consider an unusually wide variety of things can positively affect the sound, then it must be a problem that an equally wide variety of things could negatively affect it. I hadn't thought of this before but once you consider it, the situation Geoff finds himself in is very difficult. You can't just check the usual suspects (components, cables, connections, burn-in, dirty power), you have to think about all kinds of other things. If a certain kind of stone (Geoff's pebbles) can have a positive effect in a certain spot, maybe they or another kind of stone can have a negative effect in a different location - maybe that pebble he picked up on the beach and put on the mantlepiece is to blame...Without taking sides on the plausibility of these tweaks, this is a serious problem for someone who takes them seriously and does find they have an effect.
