Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?

I haven't slogged through all of this advice so forgive me (please) if I am repeating someone. I was looking at the mapleshade catalog and saw something like tepee's supporting cables, to get them off the floor. They wanted too much money but I spent a few bucks on dowels and wood glue, used up a few old rubberbands and made my own tepee's.
Total investment: under $10.00, and four hours of time (not all at once either).
Result: added clarity.
Worthwhile endevor? Yes!

For those of you who have floated the ground for all of your components, re-connect the ground for the pre-amp only.

This was recommended by a friend numerous times.

In my case, I noticed a definite improvement in resolution and decay as well as an overall silkier presentation.

-IMO

ERS sheets from Stillpoints.USA or from Audio-Buff.com. I've just started using these sheets. In my system they are a keeper. Check out the mini review at positive-feedback...you'll be hearing more about these things....

Bluenose, Dan Wright told me last week that paper really works...
