Four subs better than one.
|
Active speakers with DSP controlled crossovers are better than passive. |
Springs better than cones.
|
Without reference to actual audio systems this is a complete waste of time.
|
A nice bourbon and turning the lights down low
|
Lava lamp better than dimmer. |
|
More $$$ to invest isolation and room treatments better than less $$$.... Or at least some. |

Unplugging unused gear from your preamp and from the AC wall outlet ALWAYS results in better sound. In other words, if you’re listening to LPs unplug the input cables for your CD player, DAC, FM etc. from your preamp or amplifier. And also unplug the power cords from the wall outlets. |
There are no absolutes in audio other than good sounding stuff sounds better than worse sounding stuff. How you get there is often irrelevant. |
Very heavy components always sound better than light ones. |
|
Cool looking gear always sounds than ugly gear |

Couldn't agree less with the OPs comments. Generalizations never prove to be right to me.
|
Dirty records sometimes sound better than clean?

6 turntables better than 1....😃 |
filling the room with artificial ficus trees. They act as diffusers and absorb sound. Properly placed, they can really help a room. and improve sound quality. |
Play the first song on any cd....take it out and spray the play side with Amour All.....wipe it off and replay first song. WOW. It fills in the pitts on the disc surface and the laser gets a much cleaner, more accurate reading of the musical material on the disc. Try it, you will be amazed at the spacial opening of the soundstage, the cleaner mids and hi's and overall a 25% better sound. Learned this from an audio tech back in the 80's. It works. Don't put it down until you try it! |
I thought the Armor All tweak resulted in a lot of CDs going bad (CD rot). Sam Tellig tried it, then withdrew the endorsement because of those reports. Anyone else remember that? |
Our garage is opposite the rear wall of the listening room. I store the 4 'spare' summer/winter wheels for our sports car flat against the wall in the garage about midway up. The added mass improved the sound considerably.

I've been enjoying the AmourAll treatment since the 80's on hundreds of cd's and it hasen't done anything to any of them....Only make them more musical. Love it! Another tweak that works....Spray your vinyl with distilled water and don't dry it completely. Put it on your turntable and play. Notice a difference in the "smoothness" of the sound. Almost an "Enhansed" sound. Of course you do. Your dry needle is not laying down on a dry record. Groovy Record cleaner has the same effect if you don't feel comfortable with using distilled water. |
I'm with @millercarbon on this one. Night time audio sounds better than daytime audio. |
Agreed on nighttime. Lower ambient noise and more stable power. |
@millercarbon ....well, 'dirty' recordings with the 'Adult Content', yes. ;)
Random smutz, no.
Some sort of 'lightweight illegal luxury' enhancement, every damn time. *L* |
One speaker no crossover !!!
One speaker that goes from 15Hz -150kHz. Perhaps crossovers at line level might be better with one amp per speaker. |
....unless one is a bad mood, then Nothing is going to sound good....
Retreat, go to bed, avoid 'wrong side exit' next A.M. ;) |
Just checked back on this and about peed my pants laughing at some of the suggestions!
|
"Just dusted" gear sounds better. |
Tinnitus-free hearing, along with zero hearing loss.
Never mind the gear. Just put whatever in a good room and get them speakers where they should be. |
