Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?

Recommend a good set of cones along with some pods. I bought some from this website (can find them anywhere else) ....... audiolabtc@aol.com..... These cones really work as isolation devices and they are fairly inexpensive (improves bass defination, detail, and resolution on a component).

Speaker tweak: If your speaker is under 7-8k and for many more expensive. Upgrade the caps in the tweeter signal path. If you are really ambitious measure your woofer specs and retune your cabinet to it for max performance with flattest response.

Sincerely, I remain

Connect the 4 outputs with one channel split of my cd player and connect it to the external 5 channel in on my receiver. Sounds much better than the 5 channel stereo DSP.

Tweaks to try:
1. Replace your power cords whatever they may be with in-line power conditioners for each component. Drastic improvements found here.

2. Install PS Audio Power Port outlets, or FIM, or even Home Depot's best 20 amp electrical wall outlets.

3. Float or remove the ground from all audio component lines. Grounding has a way of inserting nasty ac noise into the lines.

4. Install dedicated circuits/lines from the service panel with no breaks in the lines(the amplifier should be on a 20 amp circuit).

5. Install the best 10 gauge 99.95% OFC romex you can find for each run.

6. Install all audio circuits at the service panel so that all audio components are operating from same phase of 115 volts at service panel.

Maintain your mains: Simple free tweak. Find the ring which your system is attached to, switch off mains and Deoxit the mains wiring connections and check they are clean. tighten the connection with a screwdriver. Do the same with the wall plug. Then check that your grounds are also clean and working well. Well worth the effort.
