In Reply to: Tell us the most obscure tweak you know of that works: posted by Smelly_Socks on October 6, 2016 at 16:14:56:
The simplest tweak I know of is simply to unplug all unused equipment. By this I mean unplug the power cords from the wall outlets (even if the component is turned off) and unplug all cables from unused sources to the preamp. In other words, when listening to LPs, you should unplug the CD player and FM tuner from the wall outlet and unplug their interconnect cables from the preamp. The same thing with any other equipment not actually in use.
I should also add that all 3-wire power cords plugged into the outlets in your listening room should also be unplugged, except obviously for the hifi components then in use. For example, my Loricraft record cleaner has a 3-wire power cord. There is a significant adverse effect on the sound quality if the cord is left plugged in, even though the Loricraft is totally off. For whatever reason, 2-wire power cords don't have nearly the effect.
I know it sounds ridiculous but try it before you write it off. It doesn't cost a thing.
