Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?

Upgrade you wall outlets to Maestro! I have Porter Ports before, and they were a terrific bang for the buck, but the Maestro were equivalent to a component upgrade, with just one installed on my wall outlet that the power conditioner is plugged into.

Cables do make a difference, a big difference in some situations! This is not even worth discussing!

Tbg........absolutely, agree! Everything on here is worth discussing.....perhaps I phrased it wrong!

Hifisoundguy, synergy is so important, again I absolutely agree. I have auditioned two cables and found cable #1 to trounce cable #2 in my system.........while in someone elses system it has been the other way around! What sounds good to you in your system is the right answer!

Cdc.......I agree, the cable which causes less "grunge" would be prefered! My only point is, that not everyone has thousands to spend on ic's........and with cables like the Mogami Gold doing very well in comparison to some expensive ic's, people are able to put their hard earned audio money elsewhere in the system if finances determine. For me they are at least an acceptable option, until money is available to purchase cable that gets me the other 5% or so.
