Both. In your search for "audio excellence", "tinkering" is one of the procedures. Like changing the cartridge on your turntable. May seem to be "tinkering" to most. At $5,000, I would not call it, Tinkering. Probably closer to Surgery.
Audiophilia: Is it the pursuit of audio excellence or just a desire to tinker.
So my wife made this observation after I spent a couple hours fiddle farting with cables, connections and speaker placements. She said is this hobby/obsession your desire for audio excellence, or just you like tinkering with stuff, tweaking your system and feeding your OCD?
She said you try this and try that and guess what it all sound the same to me. She really knows me and my OCD.
Enjoy your Sunday.

@stuartk thanks. |
Changing a cartridge for a way costlier one is not "tinkering" nor it is an embedding control device it is an upgrade of component ...😁 Tinkering is often like walking with your hand without seeing ... We must learn how to control the main three working dimensions of a system... And a search for excellence in sound which never end is not a search for excellence in sound but in most case a mental disease or an obsession ...Any study and set of experiments in acoustic end somewhere ...Any speakers building end somewhere etc ... I listen music now without being frustrated ...I guess i am no more an "audiophile" or perhaps i am an informed one ...😉

Can't you give it a rest? Your response is not even germane to the OP. |
Sorry but @erik_squires is spot on here ... We must LEARN something ... We must become creative ... We must study acoustics... And acoustic is not merely buying GK acoustics panels sorry ... It is your own post accusation in one line which is not " germane" to the thread matter because it is an ad hominem attack with no content ...The post of erik is a good proposition to learn something out of a BLIND tinkering often motivated by obsession ... And the poster you attacked is a positive contributor by the way more than most here ... Then can you give it a rest and spare us your one line attack ?
