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

i don't know what cheap tweaks are.

i have 2 recommendations that i would consider in expensive

if one has invested at least $2500 in a stereo system.

the first is a one inch thick piece of maple wood under a component.

the second is the EAT tube dampers, for those of you would have tube gear using small diameter tubes, such as 12 and 6 volt tubes.

check out Positive experiences right here at Audiogon and also at www.audioasylum.com where I posted a full review of this item under "General Asylum". $ 35.00 small can containing more than enough cream to lubricate a full System. Best tweak I have ever tried in this 10 years being an Audio Enthusiast. Best, Antonio Machado.

I have used BLUE ICE packs (thawed, not frozen) under the component, each one supporting about 5 pounds, but use at least four..works like a charm and never needs air. I found them at my local camping supply store for a little over a dollar apiece on sale.

Herbies new Grungebuster 2.2 cd mat ($12.95)...unbelievable difference. It`s almost like going from digital to analogue. I won`t play a cd without it.
