Dear ML members, I have a pair of SL3 for 13 years now and the panels are sagging and the metal shims provided by ML can't really hold the panels in place. Since the adhesive of Velco is softening and no longing can hold the panels. I just wonder how other members are fixing this issue...

I purchased the BD-83 before when it released for sales but I returned it after a couple of weeks listening to it (with about 50 hours of playing music). It was just not performing as good as my Sony SCD-777ES on SACD sound, sort of thinner sound. I sincerely hope the BD-95 will perform close...
