Using advice from Star Sound Technology, I replaced the rubber gasket that was under the transformer of my Edge amp with 3 Star Sound flat point (.5) Audio Points. The point goes on the chassis side and the flat part against the trans. Spread the 3 points out equadistantly, replace and tighten the bolt through the trans. It made my Edge amp sound like I spent 50% more on it. THIS IS A $15 UPGRADE. Takes about 10-15 minutes to do--most of that is unscrewing and rescrewing the chassis screws. It changed the sound by giving more of everything. I should add that I have all my equipment on Sistrum platforms designed to drain vibrations to the ground quickly. This can be done with any trans in a component. I will be doing this with my Modwright 5400 power supply of the cd player. Dan Wright already said he thought this would improve the sound when talking with him.
The Synergistic Research PHT's that you stick on the cartridge make an easy and phenominal change to ANY cartridge. It's like doubling the cost of the cartridge. And you can change one to another in about 2 minutes and get a different sound from your cartridge that again is like you spent double on the cartridge. 2 of these for $200 and you have basically spent little to upgrade your cartridge significantly. Now you can switch a type of sound to a different one very quickly. Their room tune products are awesome also--you have to spend much more on those, however. SR's demonstration at Axpona was pretty darn cool--putting in various treatments one at a time and playing various tracks so you can hear what each does in increments. I'm a believer. Much cheaper than reconstructing your room and hoping you'll get some success in the new sound.
