It seems that I am somewhat misunderstood or, more correctly, quoted out of context. So I'll try to rephrase and see if that helps.
My statement "I would like to land somewhere in the middle of these two belief systems" was followed by "Namely that these tweaks might make a difference but, at best, it is going to be a very small difference and that difference may or may not be an improvement." What I am trying to express is that many tweaks can be shown to be addressing specific problems, such as jitter or dirty AC power, but what the tweakers leave out is that these "problems" are often very minor and addressing them will provide little or no improvement to the sound of one's system. Sure jitter exists but at what point does it adversely effect the sound of one's system and is the jitter in a system without the anti-jitter tweak having an adverse effect on the sound of that system? It most cases the answer to the second part is a flat out NO and therefore applying the anti-jitter tweak will not have any audible effect. Sure the tweak may in fact reduce jitter but so what since the reduction cannot be heard. The same thing applies for most tweaks in that they are addressing issues where any change or improvement will be marginal, at best. -- ralphpnj Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels -> Snatch -> The Transporter -> Transporter 2 (oops) -> Touch 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/jazzfann/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93236 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
