I did get to compare titanium screws in power supply caps to ss screws a long long time ago and the titanium sounded better. I must say pg that the inflation thing has me a bit worried. Prices should be sinking. Herbie rates titanium the best for vibration control.

'a long long time ago'
so the screws are the same and you're aged meat?

be well,
Here's some flat head titanium. Let us know how they sound. 10 for $13 If these sound as much better than brass does as opposed to stainless it would be well worth it, IMHO. YMMV

Does the ALLOY of Titanium matter or is CP Okay?
You'll find the cost of a 6-4 alloy to be HUGE compared to CP.....

I don't know pg but let us know after you have listened to all the grades. According to the article below all are 99% titanium. It is likely a moot point since I summoned my star friends last night and they agreed to supply me with a few kryptonite wall plate screws, said to be the best sounding in the universe.
Likely before they come I will a-b brass and 99% titanium. If the titanium work out maybe we can get together and fund the manufacture of some titanium wall plates.
Titanium Grade 2 / UNS R50400
Description
Titanium Grades 1, 2, 3 and 4 are commercially pure (99% minimum titanium). Each grade has slight variations in chemical composition that affect mechanical properties and design capability. The corrosion resistance is similar across all four grades. Titanium is light weight, exceptionally corrosion resistant and often exceeds the corrosion resistance of stainless steels in most environments. Of the four commercially pure (C.P.) titanium grades, Grade 2 is the alloy of choice for most industrial applications that require good ductility and corrosion resistance.

Actually I may have made a bit of a mistake as ebay puts up lots of ss when I searched for titanium. They are pricey but not like McMaster. Below is an example. Like a dollar a piece, not $.50
