What is your favorite low-tech tweek?
Agree with Sugarbrie, plus add to you speakers to really coiple them to the floor pusing the spikes down. Made my speakers sound like 801s from 803s. 
Amp, preamp & tuner for $4K
Buy the Pass Alpha P preamp now on Agon for $950 or so, see the ad then look for an amp like the McCormack DNA-1s. 
Has anyone heard the Shunyata Cables?
I compared the Audience, Shunyata and AZ Holograms in my system (X-1 & X-250, Sony 777ES. I preferred the AZ speaker cables for their more natural sound and details. I felt the Shunyata was a little bit forward with a slight emphasis in the hi... 
Elrod sig2 or sig3 for da converter
Preferred the Sig 3 and sold the Sig 2 did not get that cord at all. 
Which artists do you just not get?
God I have to agree with most of you. Most of the music coming out today is not worth the download time anyway. Hardly any recording worth more than a song or two if that.Reubent - Dave Mathews Band YES, YES, YES I cannot stand this guy, who the h... 
Aurios vs Stillpoints, any experience?
Here is a reply I got from someone who has used the AUrios, Stillpoints and the IsoBase that a local designer in New Jersey builds, hope it is useful.Only got finished setting up the Isobase at the end of the week. The Isobase is excellent and bet... 
What can you tell me about Metronome players?
I heard my friends Metronome the one with the tube(s) in it and remote volume control. It was nice for the used price he paid a few years back $1600 or so. I have heard the newer two box Metronome but I think at the new higher prices, there are no... 
Power Cord for Sony SCD-1
The LC-1 is a very natural sounding PC. If you want to warm things up a bit look for the Audeince, BMI Whale or the best so far has been the Elrod Sig 3.Happy Listening.

FAST and NOT THIN sounding PC recommendation?
JPS Labs power ac or digital, AZ Tsunami is very natural, dynamic, detailed and relax/warm sounding. 
What to match with KSA-50
The Pass X0 is a very natural sounding preamp but not "warm" sounding as in tube warm. If you want to warm up the sound you will need a tube preamp. 
best budget pre used
Audible Illusions or McCormack 
Do tube dampers really work?
Yes but you also have to add a weight to the top of the tube. There were a few companies selling these a few years back but you can make your own by going to the arts and craft store and buying some lead ribbon and making a little circle to fit on... 
Review: PS Audio HCA-2 Amplifier
I compared over twelve SS amps last year and one of them was the Spectron Musician digital amp. It was very fast and extremely clean sounding but it sounded like the music was coming from one plane without the depth I wanted. Also my older Kinerge...
