3. Don't recall the name, but a black box with a power cord attached that when plugged into any outlet was supposed to lower the noise floor. It did absolutely nothing.
4. After market turntable mat that did nothing except slow the speed of the turntable motor.
5. CD mat ... no change.
6. After market jumper cables for the speakers that actually degraded the sound.
Couple things. The green pen is a little trickier than folks realize. The green should only be used on the outer edge and black should only be used on the inner edge. Black should never be used on the outer edge or on the label. Mess you up. The black box sounds like the quantum corp. Symphony Or Symphony Pro or the one that preceded them, all of which I had good luck with. Knock on wood. The Mpingo disc, very tricky to find the place where it actually makes a big difference but it's there. When I first heard what the Mpingo disc can do I almost evacuated a brick. I showed Pierre at Maplshade the Mpingo discs back in 1997 at the show and he insisted on using it on the floor right in front of the system.
