| Has anyone tried Brass cartridge mounting screws? playpen,It is also possible that the brass screws are making the sound noticeably better. Followed a Forum link about 12 years ago that many said the use of brass screws to fasten the drivers of your speakers made the sound better in most ways. ... | |
| Merry Christmas! Doug, very cool. Mine are also sounding extremely good. You've got to try this! A friend brought over an 8 ou. bottle of Equate Lens Cleaner ($3.00 from Walmart). We listened to 2 good sounding CDs using about 2 cuts on each. He then took th... | |

However, if you're buying used, you can do it and get all those things he mentions along with killer bass.
