A big part of this hobby is trial and error. Just keep trying things until you find a combination of things that work well for you. Then you can delve in a start tweaking things to see if you can make it “better”.
Then you read an article or a post that describes a new approach, and you can tweak your system to see if it will work for you with your gear.
Remember: Not any two of us are exactly the same. PERIOD. No two of us has the same gear set up, the same listening room, etc, so you should never expect someone else to have the same experience that you do, or did. Enjoy the sharing of those experiences, and the quest for improving new experiences. It is unlikely that one tweak will create the exact same improvement for anyone else, but maybe similar. Talking about it is a big part of the enjoyment.
So go out there and tinker. Play the same cut with the lateral weight in place, with it off, with it re-positioned, etc. If you find an improvement that you like – stick with it. If not, keep tinkering.
