The extra washer raises the needle (richer) an extra 0.5mm through its whole movement.Drunkn Munky wrote:If anything the springs will have richened up your midrange meaning you were lean beforehand.trude wrote:I have an ethos half system on my nc35 which I tried with 110's and an extra washer.

I then put in some hrc springs from Rick Oliver and took out the extra washer and it felt so much better.
So in summary, 110's and rick Oliver springs is a good combo. But you probably got that message already
The hrc slide springs don't make a linear change to needle fuelling like an extra washer does. The springs richen up the midrange without affecting other rev areas as much as an extra washer would. A better option in my opinion, and quite cheap from Rick Oliver.
See my (crap) diagram below for a rough comparison behind the theory (it's not to scale). Yes I was bored at work one day...
