Tweaks that work? (yes very subjective topic)

Put some drapes on those windows, carpet on those hardwood floors, and move that desk chair when listening to your system.

@tomic601 No appliance on the circuit for my sound system only computers.

Furman only has my Amp, Pre Amp, CD and Turntable on it and there are dedicated sockets for them. 

Dynavector was set up by Audio Concepts in Dallas where I bought all my gera but the Raven Audio equipment.

Block are from Butcher Block Acoustics and they are 1 3/4 inch. 

No rugs as I have allergies. 4000 Sq feet of my house is ceramic tile and
hardwood. 

TT is riding on ISOacoustics bronze isolation.

"I am hoping for a detailed response from @millercarbon"

And...

I'm hoping for a similar response from the like minded Gilderoy Lockhart.

@tablejockey the phono stage is in the 390 and it is the 310LP 

Another one of these threads??? There'll be a hot time in the ol' town tonight!!!

I normally try to ask a few questions before leaping in with advice...

what is plugged into the Furman ? How many dedicated circuits? Who setup the Dynavector and w what tools ? When you say butcher block, glued up long boards? How thick ? What leg of your panel is the audio system on vs, furnace, freezer, fridge ? Any spring isolators in the TT ? Nice floor, what about a rug ? Ever run a delay test on the room ???

u got good stuff dude

No amount of tweaking will replace playing your table thru the best phonostage you can afford.

I didn’t see a phonostage listed? Mandatory, before obsessing over obsession.

Edit-your profile list the Moon 110-up your game with the phonostage. If you haven't heard a nicer phonostage in your setup,  start demoing to hear what the fuss is all about.

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

Thanks. My system page is chock full of them. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367
Your Butcher Block stuff looks pretty good. But if your gear is sitting directly on the factory feet I would start with BDR Cones. There’s probably better stuff come along in the 30 years since they came out, but I doubt there’s anything better for $20 ea, $60 a component. Use 3 under components, 4 under speakers. This is probably the most cost effective/high value place to start.

Next after that look at the wall treatments in the corners of my room. Those are Owens Corning 703 panels covered with fabric. This stuff cuts easily with a straight razor blade or a utility knife. Its so light weight you can pin it to the wall with straight pins. Not tacks which make a big hole, straight pins like they sell for sewing. This way you can try and listen real easy and the holes you leave are invisibly small. Then when you’re happy wrap some fabric. Mine are stapled to the wall. You can get as fancy as you want or staple like me and be done in no time.

When choosing fabric, look for thin and open weave, like you would want for speaker grills. Otherwise if its too dense and closed weave it doesn’t let the sound through to be absorbed into the panel as well. The difference is not huge but I was surprised, the covered panels did not sound the same as uncovered.

So far if you do all this you are $500, or maybe up to $700 if you splurge on fabric. When you hear the difference this $700 makes you will know just how awful these people are who have nothing to do all day long but throw schoolyard taunts. Instead of helping, they actually insult the helpers. Sad. So discouraging.

Speaking of which here’s one I came across earlier today. Awesome system. Where is this guy? I ask myself. Read his System notes. He stopped posting in the forums precisely because he got tired of all the losers constantly attacking him. Not making it up. You can learn a lot just looking at some systems. This is one to study. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/4459

Would be nice to see the system of a certain someone above. Except, guess what? He doesn’t have one! Only likes to make fun of those who do.

Okay so Cones and Corner Tunes. After that all the rest are very close in terms of what they do, and how much, and for the money. I mean they are all slightly different of course but in the big scheme of things there is no right or wrong.

About the only one not pictured is fo.Q tape. This awesome tape damps vibrations, but does so in an unusual way, by piezoelectric conversion into heat. BDR Cones improve macro and micro dynamics and let you hear deeper into the recording by lowering the noise floor. The tape has a similar effect but more focused on eliminating noise and smearing in the midrange/treble. This has the effect of improving presence and revealing detail in a way that is a little different than the other stuff.

Some of these tweaks are very uniformly balanced. BDR, SR, you just want more and more. Others like the tape and acoustic panels you have to be more careful and listen and test to avoid over doing it.

The turntable, that one is a subject in itself.....

@three_easy_payment can tell who you do not like or care for. I will never go back to integrated's though the Raven gear is nice I would only buy one of their power amps.

I am not a fan of subs for music, home theater yes and one is enough.

Red carpet?
Why would I cover my gorgeous engineered hardwood floor's? 

Did you think of that all by yourself, troll?

@geoffkait Yes you are. You should spend some time fixing your website so you can sell more of your cosmic voodoo stuff. 

@tuberist the usual stuff Bass trap's and wall treatment. 

A troll of the highest order! Punky.

you need lots of SR dots/HFTs/fuses, SR master couplers, BDR cones, PPT mats and goo for contacts...and if that doesn't send you into sonic nirvana then you really need to sell everything you have and buy any Raven integrated that you can afford plus a subwoofer swarm.  Add lots of red carpet throughout the room to set the mood correctly.

Ouch!

Sky, what kind of room treatments did you do???

Like your valve spring? 

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