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

I have my amplifiers and preamps on BRICKS or stone slabs which helps vibration. I also use the controversial dakiom feedback stabilizers for negative feedback vibrations. Room treatment is something I'm staying away from due to being too costly but worth it if you have the funds. You can use cheaper alternatives but to do proper room treatment, it's for those with the budget. My favorite tweaks however are called sound processors such as pro gear like behringer, bbe, dbx, peavey and some of the older srslabs, hughes, carver holography, from sonic maximizers to graphic equalizers on solid state gear. I keep tube PURE and CLEAN with no interference from equipment because sound processors add distortions or too much links in the chain.
I actually spent yesterday filling up the inside of my cheap turntable with acoustic caulking to try and deaden it. I've only listened for about 2 hours, but it seems to be doing the trick. I'm probably going to go buy another thing of caulk to fill it all the way.
Simple and cheap Cardas caps for unused RCA inputs. Digital Terminator for CD player unused digital output. Unreal improvement due to lack of noise. Who says digital cannot sound good, wrong!
Ozzy, are you thinking the caps are shorting plugs? That would, of course, be a no no, were they.
