Has anyone tried Brass cartridge mounting screws?

If so what were your observations?

Which is to say I’ve used brass, titanium, stainless, or plastic screws and never stripped or galled any of them.

Do I necessarily believe that titanium (or brass) screws can turn a cartridge/headshell sow's ear into a silk purse? No. As someone else said, the only important thing is to avoid screws that are attracted to a magnet.
