Audio fuses
If you don't happen to have an Acme cryo'd silver plated fuse holder then you might consider Quicksilver Gold contact enhancer, a medium viscosity fluid that is applied in very thin layer to all electrical contacts including fuse caps, vacuum tube... 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
One of the most important things I've run across recently is the value of damping or isolating the toroidal transformer from the printed circuit boards and to isolate the printed circuit boards as much as possible from the rest of the chassis. Dam...

That's weird. I found lead to be one of the most harmful materials, evicerating the bass frequencies and generally just making the sound, uh, sound funky. 
Review: Acoustic Revive RR-77 Tweak

Review: Purist Audio Design Limited Edition Power cord

Recommend an "adiophile worthy" pen?
That's weird, nobody mentioned the Swiss-German Pelikan pens. 
Polarity between amps
Recordings that are out of absolute polarity sound thin, undynamic, unengaging and bass shy. About half of all recordings are out of absolute polarity. I know what you're thinking, "they all sound great to me!" :-)
