Kiesel Lithium or Thorium Magnet Swap

[krovatron]

Posted as a response but figured I would try a new thread.

Curious if anyone has done any magnet swapping on the Lithium or Thorium as I tend not to dig most passive ceramic pickups..

Swapped an A8 into a Holdsworth bridge but wanting a lil more output. Here are the rainy day options I have on hand atm.

BKP Brute Force - took the ceramic out and put an RCA5. Havent played it yet.

Lithium bridge unused. debating about swapping the alnico to something fatter or rough...but perhaps its double thick?

Thorium bridge - similar thoughts as the lithium as I typically dont dig Ceramic, usually prefering A8 or Rough A5s

Tried and True Dz AT1 that is deaired.

It's been a while, but I recall reading that it was only the flanker magnets on the Kiesel pickups that are ceramic, and that the central magnet is a double-thick A5?

Need to open up the Lithium but this is the Thorium - all ceramic.
