Has there been any inexpensive item that enhanced your system's sound?

For me it was an inexpensive power cord that was laying around for years, a Pangea AC9.  I have it connected to my Yamaha A S2000.  I've tried the stock cord on the Yamaha and then some of my other cords, (Wireworld, VH Flavor 4, Acronlink/Oyaide custom cord and a MAC). I've had lots of amps and integrated amps over the years, and this is the first time the Pangea contributed to making better sound. It surprised me because I had tossed it aside and forgot about it.  Power cord performance is such a crap-shoot and dependent on so many other variables in the audio chain.  Any inexpensive item you've come across that enhanced your system's sound?

Dramatic changes playing with resonance control, on the motor pulley and especially on the tonearm (Trans-Fi air bearing). The Koetsu changes character from mellow to aggressive, depending on the application of small fragments of sticky jelly pad, which is sold to tune the sound of drums. Seems that suppressing odd harmonics is the key to clarity plus listenability, while suppressing even harmonics leads to shrill. Anyway, less than a gram required.

Moongel is the name of the product, price $10.
