It's simple for me: I don't make no new holes, period.
It's my own rule, and applies only to me. It would not stop me from
buying any piece of equipment that already HAD a new hole-provided I
was not doing some kind of investment thing (which I am not into.)
For example, I have 2 NCL-2000s. One (which I got 1st) looks pretty
good, and is utterly stock. The second I traded from a friend-I had a
2nd RME-6900, as well as a Gonset G-76 (that I had discovered was a
VERY poor CW TX) and he had this VERY nice NCL-2000 that Svetlana had
changed from a pair of 8122s to a pair of 4CX400s (and did a superb
job of it.) Well. I might not have countenanced that mod, but it was
a pretty good idea, and you can just barely tell it isn't stock. So,
taking a what's-done-is-done philosophy, we traded. He's happy. I'm
happy. But I could NEVER have done it (or had or allowed it to be
done) myself. Just couldn't have brought myself to it.
Call it a weakness (as the witch said about eating children in the
Bugs Bunny version of Hansel & Gretel.)
