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.

Thanks, Gill.  Geoff, I'm sure is an OK guy but perhaps a bit overly obsessed with tweaks and this forum.  Me?  I just love listening to music and changing my system now and then to keep things interesting.  I have no interest in wasting time and ridiculous amounts on money on esoteric accessories and science-defying tweaks. 

Recently, while temporarily cooped up in my mother-in-law's guest house while we looked for a new home in the DFW area, I was listening to some music blue-toothed from my phone to a cheap soundbar.  I found myself tapping my foot and singing along.  I caught myself....thinking goodness...it is just a soundbar.  But it sounded good and I was enjoying myself. Too often, I think, we forget it's really more about the music than the system and we should be listening to the music and not our latest tweak.
I'll try the TC and it will be either an improvement or snakeoil.
Good decision! I had to make the same one a few months ago. I wasn't disappointed.
