Brain surgery for audiophile is the most useful and ridiculous tweak at the same time and in a near future a real option...
What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak?
My vote: Furutech Outlet Cover 105 NCF $220, with “special crystalline material that has two “active” properties.” https://www.thecableco.com/outlet-cover-105-ncf.html

Actually, unless I miss my guess, which is highly unlikely, there are no wires inside a Sony Walkman. That’s one of the advantages of the Walkmen - you can’t have directionality issues if you don’t have wires. Hel-loo! You don’t have issues with transformers, big ol’ capacitors, digital cables, interconnects, or fuses, either. |
I have been on a tweaking mission. Some work better than others Probably the biggest was changing Quad 11L to ATC SCM19v2. Not a tweak as such.

"Actually, unless I miss my guess, which is highly unlikely, there are no wires inside a Sony Walkman."There are. Depending on the model and your acceptance of the word "wire", easily all of them have it. Just a quick look at some of the models... http://www.hembrow.eu/personal/sonywmd6c.html and... https://www.eevblog.com/2015/06/10/eevblog-752-original-sony-walkman-tps-l2-teardown/ and, for those who were not present at our most recent lecture,... https://www.sony.com/electronics/walkman/nw-wm1z |
