I have tried the tweak mentioned in a recent issue of TAS and was pleasantly surprised by the results. In the article they wrote that only the silver colored zinc plated BBs worked, not the copper plated BBs. I did not test this. But if true, this would argue against the benefits being conferred by simple mass loading. I did measure the resistance of a BB to see whether or not it had some type of insulating coating. It did not. Transformer cores use insulated laminations to prevent the formation of electrical eddy currents. So why the silver colored BBs would work and not the copper plated ones I haven't a clue. Any thoughts out there? As for the skeptics, BBs and little boxes are cheap. Give it a shot before you rag on it.
