My take:
speaker wires..
went from tempo electric solid core silver to SR atmosphere x level 3 on my Martin Logans and it chilled out the highs, reducing fatigue and opening up the stage..
speaker isolation…
added isoacoustic Gaia feet to my logans.. it helped define the bass notes on strings as well as cleaning up and separating notes as well
interconnects..
went from full loom of tempo Electric silver rca to SR xlrs with ground cables on all. This lowered the noise floor as well as added more separation and depth, mostly on live recordings
cable risers
n/a
component isolation..
Added SR tranquility bases and pods to preamp, dac, server, amp, and even under my turntable. The turntable is also on a symposium ultra platform. They all helped but ill say that while the symposium stand allows me to hear my table as it should be, the most shocking improvement was the tranquility pod under the table. I aslo have the SR record mat and weight and pht on the table and i feel like the pod supercharged those..
tube dampers
did not care for them
power cords for amps
i have em, cant really remember much except lower noise floor
power cords for preamps
same as amps
power cords for other compnents
I had a bluesound in my system and added a nice wireworld cable and it made a noticeable difference
better capacitors (where?)
n/a
better fuses (where?)
i put seven or eight in my magtech amp and it is a ridiculously amazing change
