Hi
I have personally experienced several instances where a simple tweak, often accidentally stumbled upon, has produced a dramatic improvement in sound. These could be mere speaker placement, diy footers, changes in room set up, etc., leading to a WOW moment. A few hundred rupees have often given me improvements for which I would have otherwise spent lacs. I recently placed a 8mm mattress foam under my carpet with amazing results. Harshness just disappeared. I would have happily bought a room correction unit costing a bomb to get equivalent improvement.
So assuming one knows what improvement he/she is looking for.... tighter bass, rolled off highs, better sound stage depth, focus, dynamics, whatever, does one tweak further, or does one jump to the next upgrade? An upgrade that is not going to sound half as good at home as in the dealer's listening room; or in the reviewer's word picture; or in the fancy product brochures!
What has been your experience? Have you experienced tweaks worth a fortune? Would others benefit? Do share!
Regards
