I can only answer 5. I wouldn't use hot glue because it needs absolute cleanliness to stick well and I think you will struggle to get it into the inevitable gapes in the joints. A quick curing silicon sealant however will get into the joints and is somewhat more tolerant of less than perfect cleanli...

As a diy fan (meddler) I often try to make IC, usb or speaker cables for a non Nva system I occasionally use.

Then I will buy a used one of the same model. It's funny, as a bass player, I've got absolute confidence in audit...

Anybody who is on this forum was guilty at some point Absolutely, replacing a perfectly good piece of equipment with something else because of a perceived improvement is pretty common.
