Know of a "Dirt Cheap" tweak?

Adding mass to smaller speakers, like exercise plates on top.

Blankets, pillows and tapestries can be useful experiments in room acoustics. Pillows especially around the speakers and on the floor, bean bag chairs, etc.

Best,

Hey Sabai thanks for the DIY transducers. I'm using 14 with good results.

 I read about this one on Analog Planet, the use of turnbuckles. between your rack and back wall. I bought 2 pieces of threaded rod and 4 nuts and the results were not subtle. The best $5 bar none!

Everyone here has heard about using the Magic Eraser as a stylus cleaner ( use scissors to clip a 2mm triangular wand off of every corner of the block and then use it to flick the stylus back-to-front like a stylus brush).

You can also use the Magic Eraser to polish/de-oxidize spade lugs, speaker terminals, tube pins, male xlr contacts and male AC plugs... without any harsh chemicals. You can see it is polished, i don't have the patience to do before/after listening tests.
Happy Ears

lexphin,

You're welcome. Glad to hear. Where did you source the cones? For placement you need to follow the diagram on Franck Tchang's site. This makes a big difference.

Sabai,

I got the cones from Joann's a local craft shop, the end caps from a plumbing  supply shop. For placement I followed  Synergistic Research suggestions. I will look into Franck Tchang too. Thanx for the tip
