Daaeas,Adding to Sean's advice (like Sean, I use freezer bags on top and below my gear except for the CDP, which uses Sean's 16" inner tube suggestion), I also bought snack size Baggies which, while not as sturdy as the freezer bags, are rectangular so they work well for cables (they stack well so you can make sets of 3 high and run 2 rear surround sound cables between the 3 to keep the cables off the ground). So, every audio and video cable I own including ICs, video and power cords have sandbags on them. The thing is, I did all the speaker cables, then listened, then all my ICs, etc. and each time I felt I could hear a marked improvement. With the TV, I could see the improvement on the image.
I'm going to be real blunt here, when I first read Jon Risch's suggestion of this idea, I thought the whole thing was a bit... *weird,* and extreme. I couldn't deal with the concept of having sandbags sitting all over... what would people who came to my place think? After it dawned on me that every other tweak Jon recommended had resulted in terrific results, I decided to give the sandbags a try. After hearing (and seeing) the difference, I'm glad Jon was willing to share his experiences. There is NO WAY I'd ever take those bags off my gear now.
