Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?


Hey everyone, I am looking for some cheap tweaks, i just got done putting in a inner tube under my componets as an isolation device, and it works great. What else would you reccomend?..i am also thinking of an inner tube under the spkrs, with some sort of device to keep them stable. What do you think of Rf blockers..etc Please leave comments on your tweaks and how they turned out. i am looking forward to trying some. Thanks all

Hi:

Move forward your listening seat.

Mine is a large upholstered sofa bearing on rear wall. There was in my listening room this consistent mid-bass "bump". Radio Shack SLM said +14 dBs around 100 Hz. Tried EQ, port plugging, speaker relocation on floor, new interconnects, lowering speakers close to floor, elevating speakers away from floor, moving speakers away from back wall, side walls, flushing my ears, cutting short my fingernails, eating cayenne pepper and many more things just don't recall.

BUT, when my listening seat was move forward just 5 INCHES !! the mid-bass hump disappeared. Couldn't believe it!!. Pulled back the seat against wall, hump returned. To this day have no explanation for this thing. But listening has been nice since then.

Enjoy!

PS Know no cheaper tweak.
