Reply to comment by bootaylious in Finished my first ever custom build today, a Mode Sonnet by friendmode

My impression is it does, and the brass absorbs a bit of the high-end. I watched this video comparing aluminum/brass/copper, and I can hear a bit more of a difference between aluminum and the other two, but brass and copper sounded extremely similar in that demo to me. So I picked the brass to go with the rest of the build, and because Mode is discontinuing the brass but keeping the copper, so I figured if I changed my mind later the brass would be better to already have on hand.

Yeah, they announced discontinuing some parts (including all brass) in the February update recently. I'd guess copper won out in popularity between the two. The gold aluminum bottom is actually really close in tone to the brass accent in person too, so maybe they decided the brass didn't have enough of a unique angle to keep on.
