Most Effective Tweaks

great ideas here - I have used most of them in some way, shape or form

for me its all about the cumulative effect - each tweek adds something, but it is the sum of the parts that makes it all go.

for me the biggest deal is a tie between power and room treatment

then on to the isolation and damping - pick your poison here, my only comment is use brass with wood not stone

and I am a big fan of the hifi fuses which bring ease and sweeteness to everything I have put them in but a sub.

Ckorody,

Which fuses do you like?

TIA

If you can't do dedicated AC lines, (I can't) putting in an Oyaide AC receptable (Male end alse feeding a romex extension) was a Massive and cheap upgrade in sound quality.

I like the HiFi Ceramic ones from Germany - " Hi-Fi Tuning Silver Filament Gold over Silver Plated Ceramic Fuses..." haven't tried the others

Open you CD-player, and remove all the plastic from the caps. After that you can also grease linoil on the caps. It give a naked, detailed sound with a big room. Very effective! You can also do it on the preamp or poweramp, with good results.
