Know of a "Dirt Cheap" tweak?


I am looking for tweaks to improve the overall sound quality of my audio system. I recently purchased some TPC contact cleaner and it made a believer out of me. I noticed a signicant improvement, as if a veil was lifted my system sounded more clear and transparent. Bass got tighter too. Do you know of any cheap tweaks that have made a SIGNIFICANT improvement to the sound quality of your Hifi system...let us know... :-) Comments welcomed!

Here's a dirt cheap tweak. If you are one of those who stores his CDs and or LPs so they are in a horizontal position you will get a lot better sound by storing them all vertically. Some folks use those CD towers that store the CDs horizontally. Those CD towers are bad news. If you have CD towers just flip them on their side so the CDs are all vertical.

geoffkait,

Is there an explanation for this improvement related to storage? What kind of improvement can be expected?
Glass microspheres are GREAT! I just used some to create a reflective area at the step coming up to the front door of my house. Also good for creating your own reflective street signs.

- Not that on aware of.

- Should be sufficient to make you start mumbling to yourself.

I have no experience with your resonators so I cannot comment on their effectiveness nor can I compare them to resonators made by other makers -- or my own DIY version. But may I respectfully note that you earlier mentioned that you "... started designing and selling acoustic resonators before acoustic resonators were even a gleam in Franck Tchang’s eye ...". But in a more recent post I note that you refer to your resonators being around for 4 or 5 years. Franck Tchang's resonators came out in 2004.

I wasn't referring to my tiny little bowls. I was referring to my Brilliant Pebbles which are also resonators and which debuted at the HiFi show in London in 2003.
