To help our "team" perform at its best requires attention to the environment and any other stuff used as part of the system setup. Here are some of our efforts.

Room Acoustics
We made some "cushions" that help to reduce room overload.

We've also tried this recipe for bass traps. The improvement in clarity throughout the spectrum was surprising. A very powerful tool.

Sand Pits
Great for reducing the effects of vibration energy in components.
Cartridge Demagnetiser
Helps to keep a moving coil cartridge sounding like new by getting rid of residule magnetic effects.
