1. Combak Harmonix RF-57 tuning dots on circuit boards, case, and iec receptacle

2. Musicoat on all solid state devices, particularly ICs and dag blasted silicon rectifiers...

3. Replace steel bolt on toroid transformer with bronze, use bronze and titanium washers, and fasten with titanium nuts. Replace case screws with bronze screws.

4. Judicious use of Dynamat X-treme, under transformer, loud/ringy parts of the cabinet... don't overkill or you will have flat sound

5. paint underside of amp with C37 lacquer

6. if possible, a shorty Z-sleeve (the 4 inch version) over internal ac wiring

7. Stabilant-22 on any slip connection (non soldered) a.c. points of contact... far more common in modern designs...

8. Use of graphite plate on top of amp for vibration management, RF reduction, spectral tuning

9. specialized superfine diamond powder/C37 lacquer matrix coatings... absolutely stunning, awesome, mind expanding results... not coming to any products in the near future so you have to mix your own...totally blows away the typical tweak...
