impedence matching.

those are literally the only things that can be done to improve the sound of a system 

these tuning products(resonaters, tchang products, acoustic revive, blah blah blah) are complete and utter TOSH. 

stick to products with SOUND scientific reasoning and get REAL improvements."

Are we to assume all the glowing reviews of Tchang's tiny bowl resonators, Tchang's tiny little Sugar Cubes, Synergistic Research ARTS tiny little bowls, LessLoss Blackbody, Harmonix Dots, Marigo Dots,  Acoustic Revive Schumann Frequency Generator, Acoustic Revive quartz crystals, SteinMusic Harmonizer/Magic Stones, Shakti Hallographs, GHz Ultra Tweeters are elaborate hoaxes perpetrated by devious  industry insiders as part of some sort of global conspiracy determined to separate naive and gullible audiophiles from their hard-earned cash?

Then your dealing at the wrong places .

I drag everything home on evaluation terms. One advantage of establishing yourself at bricks and mortar salon's is that you can bring pretty much anything home without even a depoit . 

I'm sure thats a privilege that only there good customers receive .
