Hi Magfan
Boy my foot in my mouth tastes great. This is what I get for typing late @ night and not doing Preview First.
After re-reading my post as well as yours it came to me that the last line I wrote didn't convey what I thinking. I in no way shape or form meant to put down or demean audiophiles who are sensible enough to include an object in their pics to show a sense of scale. It is in no way something silly. In my mind when I was typing that last line in my posting above I was thinking of my friend who took a pic of the new capacitors in his Phase Linear amp and used a can of Jolt Cola as a reference. Another pic I was thinking of was where an Elemental Designs Dual 13Av.2 Sealed DIY Kit owner had a match box forklift toy next to his subs trying to lift it. My favorite one is where one owner had his 4 yr old son making faces while standing in between a pair of large Tannoy speakers he refurbished to show a sense of scale.
Again my bad and yes including objects to show a sense of scale is not a silly thing at all.
Regarding brass weights on amps. I still haven't done that. I just put 2 5 lb weights on my stock Oppo BDP-83. I don't think I hear an improvement or any kind of difference in the sound of my system but I do know th Oppo isn't vibrating as much anymore.
