I am totally serious- and I will tell you that in years of observing Mr. Doody's postings I have a big respect for his knowledge. I am sure he did not mean to offend you.

My getting into better shape has improved all aspects of my life. Totally serious here. And besides the cost of sneakers/ gym membership- its free and its a "tweak" anyone can do. Colors and sounds are more vibrant and I don't feel fatigued nearly as often. The only potential problem I have is wanting to crank my iPod while at the gym- I have to keep the volume reasonable or I will damage my hearing- and then whats the point in owning such fine Meridian gear then?

Another good aspect of lowing ones weight is improved power:weight ratio in one's motor vehicle.

Finally, I would just say I dont buy into most tweaks. That doesn't mean you should not- this hobby is also about what makes it fun- so if doing this makes it fun for you than go for it. I agree with Stuart Stebbings. My experience with my M gear is that if it is not THE finest stuff out there, it is certainly the finest gear I have ever come across. I have tried high end cables vs. the little blue Meridian ones and I cannot detect a difference. Thats just me, others will have strong differing opinions. I can't help if if they are wrong. wink

Just kidding on that last part. For me though, I don't trust the tweaks out there will provide any benefit.
