RE: Brass

Brass has certain acoustical properties, one reason why bells are usually made of brass. It has a certain amount of "ring", pafticularly in the mid/upper midrange. In contrast, something like aluminum has a resonant frequency that is higher and tends to become a little tizzy at times.

We are using the brass screws here primarily for a combination of their non magnetic as well as conductive properties. There are other metals which are non magnetic: titanium comes to mind, but they are pretty expensive... As a footer they really deaden the sound, too

YMMV, of course.
