Inexpensive things for audio that work

Hi Bonjonno
I’ve got a very cheap trick for you guys to try.
Be it stand mount or floor standing speakers,
raise the cabinet up by at least 3 inches using
wood blocks. Sit back & listen, dont worry about
tweeter height. Bass will go deeper , sound will
be more enveloping & speakers will sound more
complete
 
I found a cheap as in free upgrade while listening to my setup. Whenever I stand to flip the record there's this sweet spot I've been missing. I made my own speakers and there set up to listen off axis. I took a couple of wood blocks and use them to tip the speakers more towards on axis. Nice improvement.

It won’t go to waste Midrange that I can assure
you. Also try to get hold of the microphone cables
as well. Whats nice about this combo is the realism
it brings out & it’s very even from top to bottom

Not only are you off topic, you spout the same nonsense as the cable threads. If you want people to believe your delusions go to a cable thread, and stop ruining this one.
 
I reuse mains power transformers from old electronics. This is often one of the most expensive elements of a diy project. Also, building external PSUs saves time and money and can improve performance. I have one with a 500VA 18+18V transformer, dual bridge rectifiers and 80000uF per side. I tie the two sides to ground via an external heavy solid core wire so I can easily switch from +/-24V (for Pass type Class-A amps etc) to single/dual +24V (for small class-d amps etc.). I only tend to listen to one amp at a time, so can build them without internal PSUs to reduce cost, build time and size.

Something like that became legal here in Oregon a few years ago!

And a few other places as well - or if not fully sanctioned for the tax revenue, then not as aggressively persecuted as in the past

Note that while smoking is a very efficient method for delivery of active ingredients to the bloodstream, I don't think the human respiratory system was designed for the hot gases and numerous combustion byproducts thereof. And I'm not sure that it's been proven that, aside from explosions of the devices themselves, that Vaping is not without its own long term risks. OTOH, a nice brownie, lollipop or gummy is about as safe as any other confection / relaxation substance, provided consumed in responsible quantities.
