I went the hi-tech route and bent a paper clip to help remove the screens on my MAs. The magnet is fairly strong and I feared the screen would scratch the tweeter if I slipped. Kind of felt like a high stakes version of "Operation" (without the nerve wracking buzzer!). Really don't notice a sonic difference, no matter how much I try to convince myself otherwise.
