Can anyone else vouch for the fobes cocobolo barrels? Willl this help create a deeper richer sound? If I was to get one how long should it be? My current one is about 64.5-65mm so should I get a 65.5-66mm? Are these larger chambered barrels? I have also heard good things about backun. What do you guys think about fobes vs backun barrels?
