Best tweak


Sometimes the simpleist tweaks are the best ! The best one I've tried lately is to use some rubber door stops to tilt the center speaker down from the top of the monitor towards thr listeners' head. What are some others that have worked for you ?

Rubber (soft) door stops? Hm.... I'd try something of the same height that's more rigid, and listen for better temporal performance.
My favorite tweak involved hanging my Class A monos under the basement floor joists: thermal, acoustic and visual isolation in one shot! Enjoy the music.
subaruguru... can you explain the basement idea? is your system on the floor *above* the basement with cables running up thru the floor?? what are you hanging the amps with? what sonic advantages did you notice?
I'll second Ernie on this type of isolation tweak. I installed the electronics for the living room setup in the hall closet. Very little air born vibration and a lot less coming up from the floor. Also when the lights are out and the music is on, no glowing LED's or tubes to distract me from the music. Another bonus is that I can suspend and organize the cords and cables for the best sound as they are not in plain site.
Good going Ernie. I was going to try something like that with a power regenerator sometime soon. Glad to see that it paid off for you. Your feedback gives me more of an incentive to "get around to it" a little quicker.

As to Robedk's "door stop" tweak, i've found that using different size sorbothane footers works better than anything else. You can do a slight tilt downward AND minimize energy transfer from the speaker into the TV at the same time. Since my center channel uses two 8" woofers, it goes quite low and was causing "funky" things due to the vibration. Using a set of sorbothane footers, a layer of MDF and then another layer of sorbothane footers took care of the problem. Sean
