Plastic ring over tweeter opinion


I was looking at the Mapleshade Audio website and they recommend:

"Remove your speaker's cloth or foam grill. Snip off any plastic phase ring in front of the tweeter. You'll hear as much as a 100% improvement in treble."

I wonder what members think of this "tweek"...it seems rather irreversible.

Update: More than two years after the fact, Audiogon has now deleted from the archives my above-referenced thread concerning the advice (such as circumsizing your tweeters) proffered in the Mapleshade catalog. Let me say for the record that, any sarcastic tone aside, everything I took exception with over there was 100% accurately quoted verbatim from their catalog, and for each point I provided factually sound reasons why many of the actions Mr. Sprey urges without any disclaimers or caveats could not always be of benefit. I guess the truth hurt somebody too much to bear.
Zaikesman...Censoring seems to be quite haphazard. What passes one day is gone the next. Sometimes the missing post is quite innocuous, and I wonder if I mistakenly didn't hit the proper key.
Eldee: No mistake, the thread's been permanently deep sixed (try the link I provided in my first post above, which wasn't dead when the thread was active; also the thread title "Who Does He Think He's Fooling?" has disappeared from the list of threads initiated under my username). I imagine the clock could be ticking on this one too, especially after these last few posts...
They're just trying to conserve precious server space. I mean, you know how expensive hard drive storage is.
