Footers - one size doesn't fit all, so exp[eriment with pointy ones, squishy ones, rolling ones, etc. undereach component.
Mass - nothing exceeds like mass loading, both on top of a component to reduce cabinet vibrations, and in your stands, especially for a mechanical device like a turntable
Speaker Placement - damn, this is the cheapest but not the easiest thing to get right, but it is uber essential to getting good sound, especially if you enjoy imaging and soundstaging
Room Treatments - another essential IMO, but not necessarily cheap and not necessarily easy to do. Over use can be just as bad as no use, so tread carefully.
Clean your ears - those over 50 know that ear wax is a reality, so periodic head maintenance is required
Beverages - a little can go a long way to relaxing you and helping engender those good vibrations that make us smile when listening to music
