Akimo, I completely understand - I think there is a lot that is yet to be explained in the HiFi world.
I prefer to have solid reasons that give substantiated reasons for things to sound better a certain way, but I think there is a turning point where this becomes increasingly difficult and you have to trust your ears.
I do have a general rule, though, that any change has to make enough of a difference for me to consider it worth keeping. And an even greater difference for it to be worth writing about on here.
OK, here goes my application of your rule to the various tweaks I've tried in the past 18 months: Like you, I believe that my SE speakers have been significantly enhanced by Shunyata power products. I am also a big fan of the HAF room correction filters that I implement through Roon's convolution engine.
Now, after a month of listening, I think that the Uptone etherREGEN switch is a worthwhile investment for revealing more musical details, providing greater definition and separation of individual voices and instruments.
You also recommended GAIA feet for speakers, which I did not purchase. The anti-vibration products that I have tried, from AudioQuest and Herbie's, have not given me as much bang for the buck compared to power, room correction and network devices. Cheap, though, so easy for me to rationalize.
