Cheap tweak from Virtual Dynamics:

Has anyone seen the short video from Virtual Dynamics showing the owner replacing all his speaker screws with all brass screws? I was wondering if you could hear an improvement. It's a cheap tweak, so I thought I might go to Home Depot and try out a set. What can I lose?

Mine are metric.

I did drive to a local fastener supply house a few weeks ago...one of the largest in LA...and they sent me away in a hurry. They didn't carry metric machine screws in brass.

Frankly, I have little interest in doing the research to determine their size.

How are those Sistrum platforms working out for your speakers?

They arrived damaged, so I was unable to try them.

Ouch! They must not have been packed very well. Are you still contemplating trying out a pair in the future? I saw a used pair for sale recently( maybe that's the same guy that sold to you) as it was marked for sale in the heading but the ad remained there for a while.

Most tweeters use metric size to hold the domes in place. Vifa, Seas, Scanspeak, Peerless all use metric. Brass the metal of music, on a t-shirt coming your way soon. Tom
