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.

@mads1, I completely agree and I myself use these under most of my equipment.  I must say that at $19.99 you're paying too much for 4ea. They are available for $27.99 for a box of 48. Search for AV mounting pads.
I have two pairs of two way box speakers (ADS 620) for my video setups.  I don't know if the Mnpctech pads would have the same sonic benefit that my use of original Stillpoints have in isolating and removing speaker vibration have.  Anyone know?
Remove all screws holding each printed circuit board to the chassis except one. And slightly loosen the remaining screw. In place of screws use small cork squares “spacers” to isolate the printed circuit boards from vibration.
