Thx kurisu - didn't mean it to sound spam-y - I've used the site to get help on stuff, & actually bought gear from Minidisco, just never registered...
My friend is modding over at PLG - they're trying to reach out to tapers, so I told him I'd make a post - they've already got a decent community going - my D Rice has over 1,000 views - but they need more tapers - any thoughts?
