Air kills cartridges?

Felt like I walked into the wrong classroom...I have had a Genesis 2000 for maybe 10+ years with very low hours and just recently put it back on to play. So the question I started out some weeks back was "should I keep using the Genesis (but getting a SUP or headamp) or simply move to HOMC?" Genesis sounds great, BTW.

Sic transit gloria mundi! No matter if humans, nations, planets, cartridges.....

Appropriate ending for this thread.

don't know what you just said but if "sic" has anything to do with "sick" I'd say you're not far off. ;-)

I know this started out as a question about a cartridge but it appears that we may have found some more parameters for the "ideal" listening room: an airtight environment filled with an inert gas (such as nitrogen), perhaps cooled to absolute zero. Any contact with the outside "real" world would be the cryogenically-treated electrical outlets and a phone line for that all-important teleportation tweak. Good grief.
