Tweaks that work? (yes very subjective topic)

A hot tip on Tube Traps. Placement directly in the corner can sometimes hurt the sound. Best to experiment with position, from directly in the corner to a few inches to a foot or two either direction 🔛. At times standing waves can be very uncooperative. Yes, I know what you’re thinking, “But the directions say put them in the corners.“

Hello
I agree with plugging amp directly in the wall...not usually good to restrict current to the amp. That being said running a couple of independent lines is usually a good thing 
 I have 1 20 amp independent line for 2 channel and 4 lines for my Theater..

Treating a room will probably be the best money ever spent to improve sound.. lots of video’s out there on how to treat rooms.  This might be difficult aesthetically unless you have a dedicated listening room - bass traps are definitely not wife friendly lol

After that maybe experiment with some vibration and or isolation products.  Here I found these most effective on speakers - actually one of those OMG moments for me.  
Peace & Happy listening

Of course I do. I told you that I refuse to spend money foolishly!!

@millercarbon, does the lava lamp provide any sonic benefits? I ordered some fo.Q tape a few weeks ago. Still waiting for it to arrive from Japan. Then I'll have to figure out where to stick it. Tonearm tube and/or bearing housing? Inside transport cover?

Ordinarily lava lamps are sonically inert. This one however, when Ted Denney saw its location in my system he realized that with quantum tunneling it had the potential to exponentially magnify the effect of the HFT directly behind it. But it didn't work. I had forgotten the lava lamp had already been modified with a filament of five nine's pure Tony Starkium. Quantum tunneling deactivated the Starkium and now its back to being an uber cool lava lamp. 

I would put the fO.q tape on the tone arm, counterweight and arm base. Behind speakers both on the baskets as well as in the gasket area. Also if you put some around your face shield/helmet interface it helps control the shock waves from close range Iron Man rocket launches.
