New inexpensive Next Best Tweak


Ok, here is another next best tweak.

I just purchased the Audiodharma Cable cooker and I'm now in the process of cooking all my cables.
While this is going on I've been cleaning my audio connections, etc.
I also ordered some Herbies dbNeutralizer damping sheets. While on the phone with the man from Herbies he suggested this tweak.

Use reusable rope caulk under the circuit boards inside my components. At first I thought yeah ok thanks.
But a day later as I remembered that conversation, it dawned on me. Why not? We spend all kinds of money on items to go under our components for vibration control. What are we trying to isolate? Vibrations that’s what? The vibration that vibrate our circuit’s boards!

So, while waiting for my cables to cook, I went ahead and installed the Herbies damping sheets under the inside covers and used the rope caulk under the edges of the various circuit boards. Some circuit boards are very long and I could believe that they would vibrate, so the caulking rope idea does seem like a good idea.

Since, I will have so many changes going on when I hook back the cables into my system, I would not be the best person to be able to actually judge this tweak, but hopefully there are others that will try it and report back.
