Tweaks

I have found that tweaks can make a very positive difference. Some are more effective than others and it takes some patience and 'trial and error' to get a system sounding it's best. I look at tweaks as if it were a componet in a system. Getting the right combination may cost as much as any other type of upgrade and can be just as significant.

One word of warning is to stay away from products from a company called DakiOm. Some of the products can damage certain componets... and while the effects can be entertaining, they are anything but truthful to the source.

Wow, some pretty rude posts here. It's early, but obviously the liquor store is open early in some spots.

I apologize for the idiotic and rude posts from some of the other Audiogon community members, to your pertinent, relevent, and intelligent question.

I think the Vibrapods make a small difference, but it's dependant on what type of rack you are starting with.

Crossing the wires makes sense, but I have always done that so couldn't tell you if it makes a difference or not.

The caps do seem to work. They seem to stop or lessen feedback problems too.

Macdadtexas,

Other than Chuck's (Krell_man) post, which of the other posts were rude and/or idiotic? (And even Chuck's post was only slightly rude, as it was more condescending than actually rude.)

FYI: Personally, I took more offense at your post, than I did of Chuck's to be perfectly honest.

Kurt Tank,

Really? That's interesting.

Good isolation tweeks are definately worthwhile. Cones, pods, pucks - they all have a noticeable effect, especially on source components. Try some and see what works for you.
