If your home has a crawl space or basement, placing supplemental support by way of jacks under the floor where your equipment rack, your speakers and subwoofer(s), if you have, are, will clean up the sound, especially the bass in my case (Vandersteen 2wq). Tightening up the vibes thru the floor really cleans it all up. Did the laundry room at the same time to even greater reduction in noise and transferred vibrations. And to a pleased wife. I have a crawl space that runs from 3 ½ to 4 ft high. My jacks from Home Depot ran up to 3 ft adjustible placing 4jacks, two with 4x6 beams across the spans between joists, and the other two just straight onto the joists. Total 4 hours start to finish and about $150. Home Depot had everything. Jacks ordered online and delivered.
Know of a "Dirt Cheap" tweak?
I am looking for tweaks to improve the overall sound quality of my audio system. I recently purchased some TPC contact cleaner and it made a believer out of me. I noticed a signicant improvement, as if a veil was lifted my system sounded more clear and transparent. Bass got tighter too. Do you know of any cheap tweaks that have made a SIGNIFICANT improvement to the sound quality of your Hifi system...let us know... :-) Comments welcomed!
