Any tweaks I'm missing?


I have lots of ’tweaks’ added to my system.

Is there anything I’m missing?

A small cupboard, so no power conditioner possible.

A smallish budget, so most probably no Gate to try.

One small request...

Can the negative knobs please refrain from commenting.

I’m not interested in what you think of me, the products you have not tried, or my spending habits.

Only those who have experiences of possible additions, would be much appreciated.

I've not used mad scientists contact enhancer but PPT total contact applied to your breaker box , and the plug sockets of your hifi gives incredible results for the cost. There is considerable burn in for about a week the system may sound very off but after 2 weeks it will be singing and it gets better as it cures further.

Black ravioli pads combined with oak cones works well for me for component vibration control.

Fo.q tape from Japan very cheap and effective for vibration control get the thin tape 0.3mm and the thicker 2mm tape. One pack of each , buy directly from Japan for about $30 a pack. 

Has multiple uses, I have it on power cables, speaker cables, plug sockets, around iec inlets, equipment chassis and pcb (be careful not to short anything). I also have it on capacitors, speaker driver chassis and a few other places. Very good value for money.

A good experiment to try is play your system moderate volume and pinch the speaker cable going in to your speakers between your thumb and forefinger to feel the vibrations. Then use a 1cm wide piece of the thin tape around the speaker cable and try again you will barely detect any vibration. 

The combined effect if used correctly through the signal path (I.e power supply to speakers) is super stereo imaging and lower noise floor.

There are threads on here about the use.

Keep on tweaking
