What's your favorite Turntable tweak?


I know that this is a huge topic, but what's your favorite tweak (or if you consider it a necessity) for obtaining the maximum from your analog rig?

This can be anything from a new record mat, to vibration control (ie, ginko clouds), to alignment tools, vinyl cleaners (favorite vacuums, cleaning fluids, brushes, etc), record sleeves, anti-static guns, etc.

Along with your recommendation, please feel free to mention specific brands that you recommend.

In advance, thanks for your input!

I thought it was always a nickel. I use to take them off my older sisters record player when I was a wee lad.
Build a closet in the room adjacent the your listening room on the otherside of one of the houses main carrying beam if possable. Then add a solid core door for the closet to the sound room. This will remove any vibration from getting to your TT. There is also a door in the other room for access to the back of the equipment.
You could play basketball in the sound room with no ill effect to a record playing on the TT also. There is also zero feedback from your speakers playing at load volumes to the TT or any other equipment in the closet.
Best tweek I have ever done. The WAF was minimal for me also because the room is muchless cluttered.
I would think anything that you do in anyway that makes a system sound better is a tweek.
