Most Effective Tweaks?


Wondering what generic tweaks people have tried that made the biggest difference?    Also interested in how much the tweaks cost to implement and the magnitude say from minimum of "marginal" to maximum of "transformational".

My top tweaks I can think of so far are

1) isolating speakers from versus coupling to floor when needed  (~$100, transformational)
2) Mu metal shield around low level  phono stepup transformer ($30, transformational noise reduction)
3) power cord upgrade (significant, ~$80)
4) acoustic panels (significant, $90)
5) power conditioner (significant, $100)
5) Physically moving components further apart from each other (NC, marginal)

I don't mean to step on the OPs intentions but does anyone remember the name of the panels to stick on the sides of large speakers?

Something like "Tek-Sonic" or "Sonic-Tek"?

These were/are from the 90s and are meant to absorb and convert

vibrations into heat. Are they still made?

P.S. How do I get this stinking editor to NOT double skip lines when I hit return?
