Tweaks that work? (yes very subjective topic)

So I wanted to put this out here to the group and I am hoping for a detailed response from @millercarbon.

What tweaks have you done to your system that have worked?

I am looking to fine tune or tweak my system and this is what I have now.

Rega Planar 8 with Dynavector Cartridge 20x2 LO. 
Audiophile Linear PSU SE for the Rega.
Moon by Simaudio 390 Streaming Pre Amp.
Moon by Simaudio 330A Amplifier
Moon by Simaudio 230 HAD
Moon by Simaudio 260D CD Transport.
Raven Audio CeLest Tower Speakers
Raven Audio Soniquil Speaker Cable, Power Cables, XLR Cable.
Transparent Audio 75 Ohm Digital Link 
Furman Elite 15 PF power conditioner.
All are resting on Butcher Block Acoustics Platforms. 

Look forward to the insight.

@tomic601 No appliance on the circuit for my sound system only computers.

Furman only has my Amp, Pre Amp, CD and Turntable on it and there are dedicated sockets for them. 

Dynavector was set up by Audio Concepts in Dallas where I bought all my gera but the Raven Audio equipment.

Block are from Butcher Block Acoustics and they are 1 3/4 inch. 

No rugs as I have allergies. 4000 Sq feet of my house is ceramic tile and
hardwood. 

TT is riding on ISOacoustics bronze isolation.

Put some drapes on those windows, carpet on those hardwood floors, and move that desk chair when listening to your system.

@aewarren Carpet never man. Drapes never man.

Also that is a old picture.

We all use cones under components or should be and every room should have the basic room treatments.
After that, you can raise your cables off the floor, and put some dampers on top of each component. There are many cable elevators out there or you can make your own.
What we do for resonance control, we filled up plastic containers measuring 1x2x2” with bb’s and place them on each component.
