Grounding speaker basket to + or - speaker leads - any thoughts?

Moray James told me about this. Basically, just put a jumper from the basket to the plus or minus lead and listen to the difference - if it sounds better, leave it.

Some drivers it makes no difference.

On my Fostex FE206E's it makes an easily noticable difference on the plus lead -

Sounds much more clear - at a slight loss of (not sure how to describe) depth(?).

I understand that some manufacturers have provided ground leads to the driver basket in some of their models, and that this used to be done a good bit years ago, particularly with 6" and 8" full range drivers.

Any idea what is going on here? or other comments?
