[quote user="fr0g"] would still LOVE to know the physics that explains why a solid piece of brass is less good than a piece of wire to connect the 2![/quote]

I am sure there are many reasons. The obvious one is the conductivity. It appears that Brass is a quarter of that of copper.

I've ordered one. I found the next one up that has two heads on the end...supposed to improve the error correction of threading, i.e. if I miss with one head I might hit with the other. Only £80. Bargain. It has a tungsten head too as this affects the residual magnetism of the screw which in turn will give the treble a real lift by channeling the the local magnetic field in a more linear fashion down the power lead. Oh, but my mains filter will probably wipe out the benefits...
