"I'm not gonna lie, I was disappointed to read that this was a tray mount."
"I'd be concerned that Kaihl sockets would interfere with the mounting posts."
"Cons of tray mount: tends to be stiff and inconsistent in both sound and feel."
"I can't tell if the flex toward the center is as much as the flex at the angles."
Suggestions (4)
Hot-swap options would be really nice.
Add damping factor by leaving room for some foam/silicone padding.
Include ISO support.
ETA on few sound tests?
