Sure, but some of us -- in our experience -- don't feel that it's necessary to spend hundreds or thousands on ancillary gear (switches, isolation feet, HiFi racks, cables, power conditioning, etc.) to make our Meridian kit sound good. We just have different perspectives and opinions on this. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You seem to condemn all tweaks as hugely expensive and a waste of time with Meridian kit. A CISCO 2960 is £40. Taking the SMPS out of a 218, not much. There’s not too much debate about switches carrying noise, after all, what’s the difference between an ID40 & 41? From memory isolation.

There are some budget tweaks without going crazy on silly money power cables etc. Meridian can certainly be improved on and the sources, not necessarily Meridian but including them can benefit from further consideration as well.

Plus, it’s fun.
