@hjt.. sure ... :cry:

hmmm.... actuarily... if the compound is the same as the R888, would it then heat cycle out like the R888s do? When I read about the NT01s, people talked about it gripping till the threads, but since most of those reviews were over a weekend, it didn't quite address the heat cycles that it would handle..

I think now that hjt is onto the NT01s, I might just stick to the V700s :P
