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

Unplug all the components from your preamp, other than the one you are currently listening to. This will reduce rf and improve the sound.

Pretty much a freeby: Wrap your digital cable with about 7/8 layers of tinfoil.--Pull of the roll, the length of your cable.Lay the foil on the table--Then the cable; Roll and squeeze it tight. If it doesn't help you are out maybe 40cents. Look for mid range to upper mid-magic. The bass stays the same. This works on even 1k priced dig. links.

Treble Magic: Cup one hand behind each ear as you are listening. You will notice a substantial increase in volume and clarity of treble response. You can decide whether this provides additional clarity, or is instead a distortion.

I think for hands free operation; one could take an old pair of headphones/ place them behind the ears and then pull them forward till your ears flap forward???

Get a black permanent marker felt chisel tipped
Apply marker to the top outer part of i.e 4mm closer to top outer edge.

Some of my discs I (the ones with little print) have painted the complete top side. Liked the results.

You should get better resolution, quieter background and better decay (echoes)separation.

One marker should treat ca 50+ discs..........

If you doubt about the results, get two identical CD's- and treat one and compare.
