Simple cable tv box tweak - try this for free.

i tried a simple tweak on my cable tv box this weekend & it worked better than I could've imagined... this works for most of my stereo gear too: amps, preamps, turntable.
I placed 3 - 2" square maple blocks under the cable tv box (a digital motorola from RCN cable in chi-town - DVR) & then a small brass weight from Mapleshade Records on top of the box, in the middle. You can try this for free by cutting a 2x4 into a few 2' blocks. but, if that works, do yourself a huge favor & get the good blocks & brass weight from mapleshade. the benefits are exponential. no affiliation whatsoever, just a happy customer.
the blocks are $2 each and the weight is $10 or so i think.
what you get is a huge decrease in high frequency glare, tons more deep & articulate bass, voices that are real (i did this just before the game the Cards won the Series) & your tv picture will be clearer with better color resolution. My 32" Toshiba CRT looks quite HD now..
Sunday night tv was so good, i had to post something.
I watched Control Room last night too, about Al Jazeera, quite good.
i've never posted here, always in the audio asylums. the logic is that by draining internal vibrations from the gear it can operate at its best. $20 worth of tonewood footers & brass weights work magic on my cable box. commercials no longer jump out as loud, tv is alot more fluid sounding. I may even look into getting the music channels now, i wouldn't even had considered it before.
