Has anyone tried Brass cartridge mounting screws?

If so what were your observations?

Can't really say that I notice a difference sound wise between it, aluminum, plastic or stainless steel which are the other choices provided with the Soundsmith screw sets. Enjoy the music

Transcendent Frequencies offering them on ebay in different length/weight for any tonearm/cartridge. Remember, your cartridge mounting screws must be nonmagnetic! P.S. I am not crazy to expect any difference in sound using different screws, they need only to add weight if the headshell is not detachable.

You're certainly a uh..experimental type of guy. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/6601 Effects perhaps not as dramatic compared to your other findings.
