I think my point is being missed. In my post I make it clear that tweeks can have sonic benefits. My point is not that the addition of a new tweek to a system already tweeked won't still yield a benefit, but rather that the sum of the tweeks is not 100% cumulative.
For example, let's say you are considering upgrading your speaker wire. I wholeheartedly agree that upgrading your cabling, when properly done, can have a significant sonic benefit. The cable maker claims "you'll notice a step change improvement sounstage, bass control, etc". As long as you're at it, you consider cable supports to elevate the cable off the floor. The manufacturer claims similar benefits to soundstage and bass control.
You most likely will detect a sonic improvement from the new speaker wire by itself, and you may notice a sonic improvement through the use of the cable supports by themselves. However, each subsequent addition will not provide the same dramatic change as when it was the only week added.
