Most useful tweaks that are sensible and really make a noticeable improvement
Mat+fo.Q+TCDon't say I didn't tell you. 
What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak?
I judged the experience "better" because I was more relaxed than usual and found my mind wandering away from sound quality considerations and towards the fun aspect of the music, the talent of the players, the songwriters and the spirit of the era... 
What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak?
Could there be two broad categories of tweak? One which reveals something new in the sound/music which you have never noticed before, and one which increases pleasure but does not necessarily reveal anything new or previously un-noticed. I don't t...

I tried some of the PWB Electronics free tweaks. You shamed me into it. I found that I was able to perceive a difference. However, it was more in line with what May Belt herself claims for the PWB tweaks. She asks you to "see if you can listen to ... 
What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak?
Yes I own one. I would not have the gall to criticise something without having heard it in my own system for a long period. I know exactly what it does to the sound (but not how it does it). It’s main effect is to artificially exaggerate front-to-...

What about my vote for the Maxiimus P16?ridiculous - a glowing crystal pyramid powered by two "tachyon accumulators" housed in a tin box.overpriced - 1800 Eurosuseless - it generally makes the sound worse, smears focus and destroys the soundstage....

Let me remind you, we’re discussing ridiculous, useless, and overpriced tweaksSo discussion is allowed? For and against? Or are you insisting that the topic be limited to a vote as stated in the title?

Not the Furutech LP Demagnetizer. It's worth its weight in gold. And it's very heavy. 
What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak?
I slightly disagree regarding over-damping. A chassis can not be over-damped, it can only be under-damped. If you apply the wrong damping material, it can be under-damped at certain frequencies and amplitudes. That can be worse than no damping. If...

I like juju noise.

If you can’t afford fancy fuses, wrap the middle of an ordinary fuse glass with a 5mm strip of piezoelectric tape, then paint the tape with everyone’s favourite graphene paste.Assuming you may already have leftover ingredients on hand, the cost = ...

Paint both sides of an fo.Q RS912 turntable mat with 2 coats of AVM (anti vibration magic). Unfortunately AVM is no longer commercially available, but I obtained 17 bottles of it 3 months ago, by asking around. It was semi-solid but I managed to r... 
AQ vs Van Den Hul
correction - it's made completely from carbon fibre except for the terminations and the Hulliflex insulation. 
AQ vs Van Den Hul
I used the VdH First Ultimate for many years. It seems like almost 20 years ago that I bought my first pair. Maybe not that long..? It’s made completely from carbon fibre except for the terminations. The terminations are not soldered to the carbon... 
New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
No it’s nothing like ProGold, except that both improve the sound in different ways. ProGold is great (I used it for decades), but it’s effect is mild compared to TC’s hyper-intense.ProGold fully applied across all connections might take a hypothet...
