Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?

Here's another great tweak.....us hook-up wires to replace those binding posts on your speakers and amps.....

HiFisoundguy, when I had Beauhorns which have no crossover, I ran solid silver wires from the single driver to the outside of the binding post. I then put the spade of the speaker cables directly on it and use the lug of the binding post as a nut to tighten up the two. It was easy to revert when I sold the speakers.

This is some big, big, big, bang for the buck. First Stillpoints ERS Paper (Google it!)for about $20 per sheet--then experiment. This paper/cloth is amazing. It absorbs EMF/RFI from everything. You can paste it to the underside of you CD/DVD player's lid, around cables, power supplies, etc. and get marvelous results---especially with digital front ends as digital is very sensitive to noise.

Second, is Walker Audio SST Silver Treatment. This is about $75 but it only takes just a wisper to make the difference to any contact: rca, speaker terminal, power cord, etc.

I challange anyone to beat these tweaks for the money. I dare you. I double-dare you!

Condocondor, not to be combative but I have used both and sold them. In particular, the ERS paper proved a disaster in my system, even the smallest piece. It robbed music of all thrill and dynamics. Incidentally, I have found that aluminum duct tape works very effectively as a barrier to external noises.

Walker's SST was quite good, but I used it on tube pins and found it caked on because of the heat. I had to use emory boards from AudioTop to file it off. Indeed, I found the AudioTop Workstation cleaners and contact enhancer to sound better and to cause no problems on tube pins.

I fully expect that systems and tastes differ.

Remember everything makes a difference. A tweak is a keeper and not a deceiver. So said some 21st century non Shakesperian dilbert dude. Apply this platitude while horizontal to your hi-fi. Rememeber ninty degree angles are non musical where ever you are. Tom
