Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?

Hey everyone, I am looking for some cheap tweaks, i just got done putting in a inner tube under my componets as an isolation device, and it works great. What else would you reccomend?..i am also thinking of an inner tube under the spkrs, with some sort of device to keep them stable. What do you think of Rf blockers..etc Please leave comments on your tweaks and how they turned out. i am looking forward to trying some. Thanks all

Pinot Noir works wonders.

I can't remember if I had already suggested that previously.

Fully agree, you need to have at least 2 glasses to warm-up and it will everything make sound warmer alternatively you can try a Humagny

I find Canadian Club on the rocks works exceedingly well.
Just seems to make the dynamics pop.

Honestly, I think the cheapest tweak is to buy a better whatever component you're trying to tweak. Between the power cords, shelves, cones, blocks and other bullshit, you end up spending more than a better "whatever" in the long run. That aside, I really thought the Audience single-outlet power conditioner (ARp1?) made a really positive improvement in my system. About $300 and change used. I guess this is "cheap" in the world of high-end. I plugged it directly into the outlet and attached a $50 Wiremold strip to it.

Cheater plugs for your preamp and digital can eliminate a lot of noise on the ground line and are only a couple of bucks.
