In Reply to: RE: My 3 years to the goal of the non-compromise SET and still learning.. posted by aknaydenov on September 13, 2015 at 12:53:04
It seems there are gurus (self proclaimed) on this board who can hears the correct direction of a metal due to the grain orientations or metallic structure.
Thus, the question about the correct direction for the washer that needs to be installed in the screw type Power Filter caps. I also like to know what type is the best to use since I bought 3 different types after reading this thread.
1. Copper Colored Brass Washer Size # 10
2. Zinc coated Brass Locknut Washer Size # 10
3. Steel locknut washer Size # 10
It only cost me $1.29 for each pack of qty. 10 so I bought all 3 packs. I would like to use all 3 types of washer together if necessary.
Is it a good idea to use all 3 types or just one type?
If I need to use 2 or more washers, what would be the correct sequence to install these washers so electron flow is smooth without jitters?
I was also going to ask the direction of the screws going into the cap but after careful examination, I found it can only go one way. So, I just have to trust and hope the screw makers know the correct direction of the metals when they are cutting the screws. I really don't want to get screwed by it's almost impossible to screw it to the cap any other way!
Thanks for your expert opinions in this!

Whatever direction you decide, don't forget to polish the edge all around. Magnetic flux can spew out of a rough-edged washer like you wouldn't believe. Totally destroys the sonic aura.

megasat16,
Although I haven't progressed so far, I believe the washers and screws also may have their directions. But I prefer removing a washer instead of figuring out how to find its direction. I've too much of it already.
I know a group of my audiophile colleagues who developed solderless terminals for speakers cables and crossovers. They consisted of a small but thick walled copper tube with screws to press cables into each other. The guys listened to the "direction" of the copper tube and determined it, before cutting it into smaller pieces.
