Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?
LPS pollutes your system with mechanical noise and magnetic fields as fate would have it. 
Your favorite album cover...
Mothers of Invention had some good ones, not the least of which were We're Only in it for the Money and Lumpy Gravy, the Sgt. Peppers take off and the band in drag, respectively.

Synergistic Research ART Basik, any opinions?
I wouldn't think the tiny little bowl devices are any more difficult to explain than say Helmholtz resonators or smokey quartz crystals from Acoustic Revive. There are weirder things, that's for sure. 
Who believes that Robert Plant
