What was your first tweak?


My first tweak( of the audiophile age)was applying green marker to the edge of my CDs, follwed soon after by the rubber discs that fit on the top outer edge of a CD.

My first tweak was adding sensory deprivation when I put my stereo in my closet, sat inside in the dark with the door closed and my headphones on listening to CSN's Suite: Judy Blue Eyes. I listened to every single note on those guitars, individual voices in harmony. I was fourteen years old and I thought that Garrard turntable and TEAC cassette deck were the coolest.
Cardas speaker placement then rubber/spiked feet, green marker, tube rings, power cords, Porter Ports, Tone arm rewire in that order.
I liked a little more tracking force so I used nickles and quarters. Dimes just wouldn't do the trick!
Yes, nickels on the headshell seemed to be the right weight for my TT...anyone remember wedging a match book either under or above the 8 track while it was playing so it sounded right? Just loved the click to a new track right in the middle of the song while you were listening.
