Greg,

I think in the future, if possible I'll keep the old mount and then
depending
on who's shoes I'm wearing that day," the conservator" I'll stick them back
in
the old mounts to view or leave them in the RBT's when I feel like "the
stereophile"

There the best of both worlds.

Thanks for your insight.
