RE: what is the most effective tweak ever ?

Posted by junaid5888@yahoo.com on May 23, 2009 at 13:11:47:
Well,,,, to start with, there are quite a few. But a tweak is the name of something which costs practically 'nothing'. I would say that the most cost-effective tweak is placing the speakers according to the Cardas Golden Ratio. It truly shows what your speakers are about, because of minimal Room interactions. But its one of the most annoying placements one could find, aesthetically. Coz it puts the speakers virtually at 33% of the room, which may not be practical unless one has a dedicated Audio-Only room...
The other tweak is the one where you use two 0.47uF Auricaps across the positive & negative power terminals of a Cd player. It really cleans up the mess coming into the player, & also the digital hash going from the player to other components....

I dont know if you consider Acoustic treatments as "Tweak", coz it does cost a bit even if you DIY. But nothing pays better than them... Not even a component upgrade...
