After a twenty plus years hiatus I'm back. Despite the fact I must wear hearing aids I'm amazed at what I'm able to hear. The many tweaks I've found online have taken my humble system from a rather dull sounding system to a level I never expected.
Vibrapods and bamboo cutting board under the Oppo 980 CDP added extended decay and more shimmer. Self stick dense sheet foam, for the interior and bottom of the Oppo CDP. Weights on the top of the Oppo, reduces female vocal harshness. Herbie's Black Hole and SID CD/DVD matt and Zerostat gun. Teflon tape wrapped around PC tangs. Bamboo cutting boards placed under speakers; improved bass, tighter and deeper. And my neighbor appreciates it. And a baggie of mixed minerals and crystals. These are sitting on my hospital grade Trip Lite power outlet. Crystals at power panel, on ic's connectors, ac ends and speaker connections. Just installed EVS Ground Enhancers; they really cleaned up the sound.
Emotiva CMX-6 Power Distribution System
Power Distribution System. Six very quite outlets. More good sound.
