My EV-01 sample is from Durock’s store, which was couple months after the R2 EV-01 GB, but the original T1 samples were exactly a year ago, a bit after the first GB.
Another weird thing I’ve noticed with the Durock Linears is that swapping a spring into them (in this case Gat Yellow spring) doesn’t result in the same weight feel, and pushing the Ink against the Durock linear, shows the Durock linear is noticeabley heavier for some reason, odd.
I’m actually considering Black Inks or the EV-01, while I love the sound of the Durock linears and not being a fan of the muted Ink Blacks, all of this is making me lean towards the Inks.
Guess I’ll get the Durock linears sometime in the future maybe, who knows maybe they’ll have better molds by then.
