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

Tin_Cup, the only thing that amazes me about fuses is the fact that people are amazed by the improvement that an expensive fuse makes. That and the fact that some people seem to think that the direction of the fuse (or cable for that matter) makes a difference, even though AC current travels in both directions every 1/50 or 1/60 ieth of a second!

place cdp on two 12" long 1/2 inch copper plumbing pipes wrapped in foam pipe insulation. This really put some air around the music. Also instead of using a full shelf I use 1" wide by 1.5" deep cherry slats as my shelves.
components sit on a 2" piece of maple with brass arrow tips screwed in to the underside. These sit on the cherry slats.

Place your more sensitive components in a lower postion in your audio rack. Units that are particularly reactive to changes in inertia such as a cd player or transport will become more focused have greater detail and deeper bass.The lower center of gravity will result in less error correction needed by the player with greater effective power supply stability..Tom

theaudiotweak, I had never thought of that, but it seems to make sense. I hope my back doesn't go out changing my records though.
