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

Marigo Audio dots!

I can vouch for the Marigo suggestion posted above. I found that the Marigo tuning bands on the bass and midrange driver baskets produces an even greater effect than the dots on the driver cones. I would recommend both. Actually I have these things all over the place. Walls, windows, driver cones, driver baskets, etc. They provide denser images, greater detail, and greater dynamics.

Clean all of the RCA connections. There are several commercial products for this, I like alcohol (grain) and Q-tips. (disclaimer: I own no interest in Johnson & Johnson)

Anyone have feedback on Rightway Audio Top Hats (tube dampers)?

Hi. Yoby. I bought tophats and tried them on the tube on my SLF-1. As this model is a hybrid with 1 tube I can't tell you how a full tube amp or preamp might react but on this pre it increased the depth persception and seemed to snap or lock in the images. Now this is from memory as both pre and top hats are living at a friends place. They are quite heavy for the size of them....but, yes, they do work. Let's see what others have found with them...good listening
