Most Effective Tweaks

Self explaintory thread. Im looking to experiment with my system and see if I can truly alter the sound of my music with some simple cheap tweaks. If we could all list as many sucessful tweaks as we can to help develop how our systems are put together. Everything to ball bearing isolation to "amber beads" please share your experience and let us know which tweaks you found the most effective or the most dramatic change.

cheers

If you can't do dedicated AC lines, (I can't) putting in an Oyaide AC receptable (Male end alse feeding a romex extension) was a Massive and cheap upgrade in sound quality.

I like the HiFi Ceramic ones from Germany - " Hi-Fi Tuning Silver Filament Gold over Silver Plated Ceramic Fuses..." haven't tried the others

Open you CD-player, and remove all the plastic from the caps. After that you can also grease linoil on the caps. It give a naked, detailed sound with a big room. Very effective! You can also do it on the preamp or poweramp, with good results.

Vibrapods for CD players (I have two CD players) and PS Audio Power Ports to replace your cheap in wall electrical outlets. Be sure to purchase the correct Vibrapod model for your source components. It goes by weight of the unit. Both tweaks have made a significant difference in the sound coming out of my systm (Marantz, NAD, Rotel, B&W).
