2- Pass & Seymour Hospital Grade receptacles (brown).
Model 8200H.
Brand new in box, never used.
Stick em in your freezer (keep in box) for about a week, and you will have a recept. alot better than your basic Leviton crap (they will be better before freezing:biggrin:).

Just list a cheap audio tweak, most unique wins.
I will decide on Sunday night, and will ship on Monday provided you respond to my private message.
I will list the winner on this thread.

Looking for a cheap tweak.

    Cheap "tweak": Cupping your ears like those who are hard of hearing do. It's almost like putting on headphones.......no ****, try it !:wink:

    Cheapest and most noticeable tweak for me was completely rearranging the upstairs room (which took some convincing to the wife) for better speaker placement. Everything changed...soundstage was deeper and wider, instruments grew more 3D palpability, bass extended deeper and was way more controlled.

    In please...

    Alright!
    I have to force ya'll to have fun!
    Try taking 2 pcs of glass, any glass smaller than your cd player (physical size).
    Put 3 dots of silicone in between the 2 pc's and let dry.
    Stick these 2 pc's of glass on top of your cd player (in middle).
    You might put some rubber/foam (not thick) to dampen the glass on first (between glass and cdp).
    This is an great tweak!
    You will find yourself turning your system up a few notches.
    Clean!
    It limits the amount of stray energy from your laser.
    Really works.
    Try it for yourself and post your findings here.

    In please
    use a SPL meter to set up you speakers, it helps compensate for room issues.

    I love how music can brighten up a bad day.
