IF YOU DARE!!!

Room treatments! DIY Risch recipes 8 4'/18" diameter and 6 4'X2'X4" thick panels
Modify both Conrad Johnson amps by adding chassis mount IEC to accept "other" cords. Dremel tool required
Cardas caps on unused RCA jacks
ISOLATION! Herbies and other DIY wood slabs/blocks and deflex. One or the other under every component
Herbies Big fat black dots under speakers - nice
Herbies CD mats - work well with my new transport, Philips transport didn't like them
Oyaide outlets AND WPC-Z outlet cover. I have said before the cover, which costs more than the outlets may be more important.
DIY Oyaide Outlet strip w/R-1's. My closest outlet to the rig is 8 feet away. I have an 8 gauge cable to the strip by the rig.
Richard Gray 600, got it for free!
PS Audio P-300 - essential for sources in my opinion!
PS Audio Noise Harvesters - 3, two is enough, one is for sale.
The last three aren't technically tweaks but made marked improvements.
All cables unshielded - smoother.......
All Safety grounds lifted - this was huge! A famous well respected engineer here says the safety grounds act as an antenna for noise. I agree!

Al Sekalas R/C filters for AC
Al Sekalas R/C speaker filters - WOW!!
Small brilliant pebbles on power cord at IEC of HF amp -wow!
Try cables before you buy them. You'll find one that helps a lot.

I'm sure I'm forgetting something. They have all helped or I would have removed them from the system

ET

Question "Authority", the mainstream media sucks - Go Independent and hold BOTH parties accountable instead of just the other guys!

I need music to help forget the reality of today
