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?

how does one confirm that the hardware store is selling you real brass screws and not plated?

Kbuzz, Brass is not magnetic. Stainless steel is not magnetic either. Test the screws with a magnet.

Take a screwdriver that has a magnetic tip along for the ride. If its sticks or it has a draw its ferrous. Go for the brass not the stainless. Brass is the metal of music.Tom
