Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?

The supreme tweak: Bybees purifiers!
I put one on each positive speake cable lead and totally
transformed de sound! read the reviews. They are absolutelly wright! It sounds like if the speakers became more sensitive and represented a smaller load to the amp. But more: integration of transducers as if the crossovers were upgraded; easyness to the sound; attacks are fast and decays are "real"; top to bottom coherence; detail, detail; it's easy to follow the musical lines...etc.

If you want to upgrade speakers you'll have to spend twice as much as you paid for yours to hear an improuvement. It's much cheaper to install Bybees! And you still can keep them when you finally upgrade.

I don't know if they can be called "tweak" o "cheap". They are expensive in absolute terms but when you hear the effect they produce you will soon forget the price paid (but if you know of a sale, call me). And they are said to be additive(and addictive) in effect.

could uyou please let me know were to buy Bybees. Ineed to get them sent to ireland and my cablrs are triwired so how many would you recomend excuse the typing im new to this computer world. thank you

(1) Upgrade your wall outlet - Audio grade duplex by FURUTECH (gold plated) 125V/20A retails for $80 but you can get the 125V/15A version from Chris Venhaus' website for $40. While you are at it replace the retaining screws with stainless steel ones.

(2) Clean up oxidation on connectors (AC plugs, RCAs, Phone Jacks, speaker leads/spades, power leads, etc) using a solution such as Craig Gold G5 then apply Mapleshade's Silclear - per the instructions!! Amazing audio and/or video

(3) Use Powerwraps for fixed power cords.

(4) Use Nordost 3ECO Static Inhibitor on all ac cords, interconnects, and speaker wires. Also improved sonic results if you wipe down the components themselves but some parts may appear to have a sheen. Need to be refreshed at least every 3 months.

(5) For CDs try spraying with OPTRIX for improved clarity.

There are of course many other tweaks but these are cheap, very audible (golden ears not required), and component independent.

Great thread ... have fun.

Still the Best Tweak...yet out of production...and getting rarer on the used market...is the "Tice Clock"...I'd be willing to part with mine, but it would be Very expensive! Merry Christmas to all my Audio friends. Enjoy a safe and musical holiday season.
