Just wondering after reading all this technical stuff what will be
the fix???? And how do you guys know that your shock mount is not
going to rip oft like Don's? Seems like to me this should be a
factory recall item or at least some type of notice given to all
owners of these bigger units. Can you beef up this area to make it
more stronger???? I sure would be bothered to know that such an item
exist and the factory not notifing owners. Jon
