I posted something similar in the DIY (Do It Yourself) forum so if that's the place for it feel free to kill this one, but my question does have a DIR slant to it so I put it here too.
Given the minimalist nature of the DIR philosophy, what does everybody think about cutting each hose to exactly the right length for the intended application. My question is really two fold. One, I looked at the EE website and saw the prices for their Halcyon hoses, and personally I think I could do a lot better with a bulk reel of hose and a bunch of fittings. Two, if I'm going to cut the hoses to length anyway why not tweak it a little if need be. I realize DIR is all about standardization, but I'm not talking about major length changes, just enough so that for my specific person, it doesn't feel tight or "flap in the breeze" as you guys say. Any ideas?
thanks,
