For what it's worth, the repair problem created by the sealed body type is one reason why ZYX discontinued the old original UNIverse, in favor of the UNIverse II, which has an open body allowing access to the generator. Of course, for advertising purposes, the open structure is now touted as "better", sound-wise. All UNIverse's since the UNI2 have been open body types, so far as I know. Of course, they make a new version of the UNI every few months, which allows them to raise the price in increments that audiophiles hopefully won't notice, under the heap of verbiage about why the newest one is always better. All of my cynicism aside, the original UNI is the best LOMC I have ever heard in my system. Do not equate it with any of the lesser models.
