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

the above opinion isn't necessarily based upon facts & completely ignores the synergy issue. What works for you won't necessarily work for me & vice versa. It's basically misinformation from the uninformed. Not intended to be a put-down, but as encouragement to newbies that there really is hope, regardless of the above discouragement.
Dazzdax, you need to start from scratch again. This doesn't necessarily mean that you should get high and go to rock concerts again, but you *do* need to do some serious live music listening to get your bearings...

My system is nowhere near as expensive as yours. It is based on the infamous Technics DJ turntable and a Chinese made CDP which I use as transport. However, it is highly resolving, holographic, clean and extremely musical. No graininess at all. I listen to a lot of "junkie salsa", so the recordings are far away from perfect. My near field system can successfully play any recording of any musical genre regardles of its recording quality. This would be an impossible feat if it not were for synergy and proper tuning/tweaking of the system.

As a matter of fact, I recently found in the A-gon classifieds someone from Switzerland selling two sets of Goldmund cones($200 used). They're on their way to me...

And to answer the thread, I would say cable cooking is the single most important tweak.
Hey Y'all,

I've just tried these pads and they have really done a lot to improve the sound of my system. Here's the link:

Check them out, for $4 per, they are truly a cheap tweak. I am not affiliated with this gentleman. I am merely a very satisfied customer.......John
