Tweaks that work? (yes very subjective topic)

So I wanted to put this out here to the group and I am hoping for a detailed response from @millercarbon.

What tweaks have you done to your system that have worked?

I am looking to fine tune or tweak my system and this is what I have now.

Rega Planar 8 with Dynavector Cartridge 20x2 LO. 
Audiophile Linear PSU SE for the Rega.
Moon by Simaudio 390 Streaming Pre Amp.
Moon by Simaudio 330A Amplifier
Moon by Simaudio 230 HAD
Moon by Simaudio 260D CD Transport.
Raven Audio CeLest Tower Speakers
Raven Audio Soniquil Speaker Cable, Power Cables, XLR Cable.
Transparent Audio 75 Ohm Digital Link 
Furman Elite 15 PF power conditioner.
All are resting on Butcher Block Acoustics Platforms. 

Look forward to the insight.

The Mind Lamp from Psyleron doesn’t work sonically either. But it can be controlled by ...... thoughts.

A hot tip on Tube Traps. Placement directly in the corner can sometimes hurt the sound. Best to experiment with position, from directly in the corner to a few inches to a foot or two either direction 🔛. At times standing waves can be very uncooperative. Yes, I know what you’re thinking, “But the directions say put them in the corners.“

My favorite tweak lately is called the Mystery Tweak. There is one for CDs and one for cassettes. It involves stiffening them and damping them, thereby reducing distortion. I would very much like to say what the Mystery Tweak involves but then it wouldn’t be a mystery any more, would it?

Of the major food groups Spam is the best for damping electronics and elevating speaker cables. Not too soft, not too hard. Made to order for particular audiophiles. Best straight out of the can. Miracle in a can!

You would probably do better by changing the title to Tweaks that Don’t Work?
