Replacing driver screws with brass screws


There was some discussion about this on Millercarbon's thread about the Moab speakers, and I wanted to pursue the subject further without interfering with his thread.
As I stated there, I have heard about this practice for quite a few years, but never tried it because it seemed like one of those lunatic fringe ideas; and even though I actually really enjoy trying tweaks, and have found many of them effective, I just was not prepared for what this one did for the music coming out of my speakers. 
Specifically, it improved the detail in ambient trails, focus in general, complex harmonics in voices and stringed instruments, and instrumental separation. It is not subtle, and it is immediately noticeable.
So, I am curious to know how many of you out there have tried this, and what your experience has been.
Thanks, John

glupson, sorry to spoil your fun, but after previous comments you’ve made, I don’t for one second think you’re serious about wooden screws.

But by heck if you are serious, go ahead, I’ll read your review.

I still remember my primary school teacher who’d emptied out a mercury thermometer for science class. I wanted to pick up the mercury and he forbid it, telling me it was actually dangerous to touch. I remember thinking to myself, is he just saying that so I won’t touch it, or is it true? and he’s actually protecting me.

I recognize that I can be arrogant and proud as much as anyone. I remember being asked what quality of water is the most beneficial to supporting life?? I gave all the qualities of water I could think of down the list I’d learnt... Kept getting, no that’s not it... Then I was told the answer, and as soon as I heard it, it dawned on me that it made perfect sense..
It’s waters solubility, to transfer oxygen, proteins, glucose, mineral ions, hormones, carbon dioxide, waste byproducts...

It’s people like Tom who provide products and information that expose others to technologies we’d normally never hear about.

Thanks Roxy54, a good controversial thread!

Took a beatin in the early 2000's and kept on kickin..Robert and I..Thanks for the good speak. Always looking forward for a better way.  Cryptic I am about some things I am working on and get excited about somethings that bring false hope but those hopes sometimes lead to something wonderful as I am listening too now. The toughest thing is to be able to explain why it works and how it could further improve the event. Let you know when I can. Tom
Ricki,
I actually should have known that it would be controversial, but that wasn't the intent. It was just one of those things that I had been meaning to try for quite a few years, and I was excited to share the unexpected positive results. 

So what you're saying, to even talk about brass screws takes brass balls. The man's a poet, didn't know it. As Will Shakespeare once said, This s**t writes itself!"
Well, there’s three choices: try it, talk about it, or just forget about it. All valid.
