Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?

Bullot, actually, I've never experienced a situation where cables did not make a difference, with the possible exception of years ago when lamp cables were used for speakers and cables that came with the equipment were used with it. I must say that I have heard absolutely awful cables and many that are not worth what they cost. I have also heard cables that I am sharply at odds with what some reviewers rave about. Like everything tastes and systems vary greatly. Thus for this reason, I have always said little is worth discussing.

Why do I post? Once in a while I learn something from others' experiences and guess that others may do similarly from mine.

With cables its all about "Synergy" and reducing most of the "Grunge" from a system.

Tbg........absolutely, agree! Everything on here is worth discussing.....perhaps I phrased it wrong!

Hifisoundguy, synergy is so important, again I absolutely agree. I have auditioned two cables and found cable #1 to trounce cable #2 in my system.........while in someone elses system it has been the other way around! What sounds good to you in your system is the right answer!

i have dedicated ac and ps audio ac plugs. vibrapods, brightstar pods and black diamond cones, all upgraded cables. seperate power supplys to replace walwarts, room treatments, modified magnepans, furman conditioner and other tweaks i,ve forgotten. i wish there was a quick easy way to hear my system for 30 minutes in a stock condition setup to subjectivly experience the cumulative effect of all these tweaks. any opinions? btw i really enjoy the present setup and it would take hours to undo my handiwork. haha

A can of Brasso and some Q-tips. Unplug all AC plugs and saturate the blades with the first set of Q-tips. Let them dry overnight.

Rub off the dried Brasso until they're slick and shiny. The second set of Q-tips will be black, reflecting oxidiation. Repeat every 6 months.
