Adam has championed a brass block on the processor cover to reduce vibration and advises improvements in bass and better detail.
Well thanks to Nigel for locating an engineering shop in Bluebell Ind Est that will cut flat brass bar to size.
Got the block today still have to do a bit of grinding/drilling to allow for the protruding screw heads on the streacom cpu cover.

Great shop as Nigel found out, they sell and fabricate aluminium sheet also. I will be paying another visit
The damage for this bit of brass foo is €25

Thanks to Adam for the suggestion. First stage for me of the myriad improvements Adam has applied to his zuma internals

Photos pleese!

Bear with me I will get something up but photo's unlike some of the lads are not my forte

James A Healy & sons?

Decent fellas.....

I was only reading an article the other day about using brass screws in speakers and to hold cartridges in place due to their inert nature. Maybe yis are not mad after all.

can a pc be too damped ? as we don't understand what goes into making the final sound it is a possibility.

I use brass farthings in my laptop

Here is the brass piece on top of the Zuma CPU.
Brass is in the up side down position in the picture.

You are getting down to brass tacks there. That could be akin to saying could a PC have too much MQn
