Is the truth. I was thinking that only this morning. I'm not proud, let alone bragging, but my ears sadly took some abuse in my teens & 20s and I'm probably now paying the price.

Mine too but good hifi still sounds miles better than standard stuff .
No argument whatsoever.
But when enthusiasts claim that replacing an old (working) capacitor with a new one to improve sound quality then I'm claiming snake oil.

So did I , lost plenty of time years ago on threads debating the best replacement caps and tants etc for re-builds.

Never did anything TBH, got my Naim Nait serviced by Class A but will be looking in to diy-ing my Arcam D60 to use as a tv amp; used to work for Arcam when they came out so know how they come apart (and go back together!) and competent enough with a soldering iron.

it's like anything with an enthusiastic following; cycling, fishing, golf... there's a lot of bull and snake oil that enthusiasts are more than willing to swallow and regurgitate.

My Tannoy Devons are going to need the foam speaker surround replacing soon (2nd time, reconed them in early 90s) . Have to decide whether to do it myself or send them away to be done.
