RE: Consider

Actually non ferrous screws on a woofer are more audible. I presented my case for non magnetic screw to Carl Marchisotto of Alon( now Nola), He laughed and told me the magnetic field of his 12 inch woofers was easily measured 10 feet away. That was easily checked with a simple cpompass and later with a Lakeshore gaussmeter I scored.

In older posts, I got into great arguments with Geoff Kait of Machina Dynamica. Check out his explanations. In my mind and I deliberately challenged him on this, they were nonsense: pseudo scientific terms tossed out with really no science at all. The guy's no dummy, though, but he is misleading and I seem to see a more prosaic explanation being offered these days.

In presenting my tweaks I work long and hard to get an explanation , one rooted in real science, no matter how outlandish it may seem. If I don't know, I admit it. It's easier than making up BS

Why, you ask? Because it makes application easier and more effective.

With my current set up I get remarkable 3 dimensionality with even non audiophile recordings. One day I will post about the room treatments which make it possible and which are surprisingly inexpensive'


PS. I had contracted many years ago to custom build coupling caps from Southern F-Dyne (now part of electrocube). So I know a little about caps.
I am a strong advocate of diode decoupling, but when i post about it, no one listens or even tried the concept. But in my gear the decoupling diodes make a significant difference
