Topic: Which has better sounding ADC, R-09HR or M-10???

Chris Church will do it, but you have to deal with the expense of international shipping!  I would just get a right angle 1/8 plug and be careful.

Can ANYONE on ts.com epoxy my Line-In jack on my newly acquired R09

Is it broken or as a preventative measure?

I epoxied my 1st R-09 as a preventative measure after Edirol repaired it.   That was 5 years ago, no problems since.
I bought a second R-09 after they had reportedly fixed the problem (4years back?) and that one is still going strong, never epoxied.

If your line-input is broken and you are using an external preamp you can switch to the mic-input jack at low sensitivity and run it around level 10 without much sonic difference as far as I can tell.  I did that for a few months before getting mine repaired.  In that case it may be an early unit prone to breakage and you may want to open it up and epoxy the mic-input before it breaks too.

A small right angle input cable helps reduce stress on the jack as you probably know, as does running the cable through the case or gaff-taping it to the recorder.

Preventative measure The seller says its fine right now but I'm not sure if they fixed the one I'm buying or if its one of those early ones that had the issues

And yes, I'm getting a custom RCA>rt-angle 1/8" cable made so that should help.
