M8 Turbo Reeds.... Time To Replace!!

Unreal the variety of results from the same products...
Every time I look at a new reed thread hoping for the "holy grail" of reed setups & I see at least a few people who make each setup look like they're junk.
I've been getting about 6-700 miles from HO reeds (non IC running 11-14 psi)... so not seeing anything that leads me to believe that it's worth it to do anything else.
Anybody thinking I'm WAY off here? Sounds like the OVS stops will help... but some don't sound that great there either... so random as to what people get.
I've got around 1k on mine, and have been holding off the last 300 just hoping to finally decide on "THE" setup!!

Stacking reeds
When you guys stack your reeds, are you trimming the top one back, or are you leaving both full length. In the Doo section I heard guys trimming the top one back 40%. Is this so the full length reed is not opening too far and hitting (in my case the inside of the cylinder) or fluttering and chipping the ends? I doubled mine (stock) and left them both full length. I haven't had it out other than to make sure its still running properly. It doesn't seem to have affected performance. Sorry, Doo guy jacking your thread, just thought there was some good info here!

cuting them back takes away that needed support and dampening for the outer edge which is where the damage starts,, from flutter and lean midranges or pilot circuit..low to mid for you push button guys..lol
