Is it possible to have to many tweeks in your system


I have tried a lot of tweeks in my system. Power cords, AC conditioning, isolation devices, racks, etc, etc.
I have found some to give an improvement in sound quality. Some just sound different and not better. And some just sound worse.

I am wondering is it possible to have to many tweeks in your system where one tweek cancels out the other. I have mostly heard that tweeks are a cumulative effort but I wonder in some situations can it have a negative effect?

I scrupulously avoid lead and Sonex, myself. Two of the most heinous materials ever to be foisted upon naive gullible audiophiles. I’m not crazy about Sorbothane either. Ye olde ERS anti EMI/RFI cloth? Forget about it! You can overdo Tube Traps, crystals but you can never have too many Mpingo discs. But those empty beer bottles lying around will definitely mess you up.

Pretty sure both Lloyd and Pierre over at Mapleshade swore off lead a very long time ago. Pierre used a lot of lead in his set up for years. It seems like such a good idea, too.  :-;

Whether Sonex dissolves or doesn’t dissolve even having small sections of it anywhere in the room makes the sound all phasey and gnarly like.
There is always the distinct possibility of operator error.  One must be constantly vigilant.
