REMINDER: tighten up your loose screws

REMINDER, tighten up all loose screws around the drivers. Just Do It. All of them.
Sit back and enjoy your “new system”.

85% of screws on my speakers needed 1/8 to pass 1/4 turn to snug firmly and guess this… all screws on my woofers needed 1 full turn. Some was actually needed 2 turns. Anyways, improvement was a jaw dropping.

How to even start a response to this?  Don't even get us started on solid silver or gold (or platinum) screws and their sonic benefits!

But don't lock down your cartridge screw with Herculean force.
The threads in the cartridge body are very delicate.  Many have been ruined and needed re-building.
Only a quarter turn beyond finger tight.

To get the best improvement in sound quality on tightening driver fixings, don't use a cheap screwdriver, whatever you do.  This will undo all the good work in the factory -  the makers of the best speakers only use costly screwdrivers, many with gold-plated finish.  Their handles are usually painted blue, although some favour a darker shade of purple.
