Know of a "Dirt Cheap" tweak?

One mans dirt cheap tweak is a others man arm and leg. Keeping all cable connections clean is great. Getting speaker cables off the floor is one more that i feel helps. Replaceing wall out lets with audio grade plugs is al so great, but not really cheap depending on which one you use. I have found the biggest bang for the buck High Fidelity MC O5s easy to use. May be not dirt cheap but a tweak that delivers a sonic improvement.

Sabai, Franck’s guide to locations for resonators is just that - a guide. Even he says that. Every room is different. If your location is off by 6 or 12" that can make all the difference in the world, as you missed the peak. The real locations vary from room to room, system to system, speaker to speaker. Speakers radiate different patterns so there cannot be one size fits all. And that’s why you’re only guessing if you don’t use a SPL meter. And I'm not even getting into the RFI angle.

geoffkait,

In my system Franck's basic diagram works very well. Franck eliminated a lot of the guess work for me. YMMV.

So, anyway, has anyone played around with 1/2" diameter bowls? Just curious....

Two things improved the overall sound quality dramatically. I re-terminated the speaker cables, replacing the spades with the locking banana plugs. (if your amp has some fancy binding posts with a large contact area for the spade you don't to need to). Another thing I did was to move the speakers away the back wall. By the way I noticed that the OP started this thread 16 years ago. Wow.
