I'd also start with making sure your speakers and listening chair are properly positioned per Jim Smith of Get Better Sound. Otherwise the subtle effects of many tweaks will be masked by room acoustic issues. I've found that the relatively unknown AV Room Service EVP footers to be remarkable under speakers and other components, again per Jim Smith. Less expensive than Ghias and other expensive, shiny products like them.
Most useful tweaks that are sensible and really make a noticeable improvement
So after reading the thread of useless tweaks I'd be interested the communities opinions of useful tweaks. I may be rehashing a previous thread but times change as do useful tweaks.
I have found that in my case the following were useful, immediate and audible,
In order of priority in my opinion
1 Room treatment
2 Speaker location, ie proper setup
3 Subwoofer location (if used)
4 Subwoofer integration
5 Component isolation
6 Cables, all SC/IC etc, normally I would not mention cables but did have an ear opening epiphany that makes me believe cables are system dependant and I do not mean directionality.
So if anybody has anything to add, please do so as none of us are ever too old to learn.
