Adams Endorsement
As I mentioned before, I think it's very well made and feels like a quality assembly. However, I just noticed on the Adams website that you can order one with a standard receiver:

For me, though, I think it's a worthwhile option. If you happen to switch mouthpieces at some point, this might allow you to find the most comfortable setting. A new mouthpiece could change the gap to the inner leadpipe; perhaps that is partly why Adams thought of it. Every time we change to a mp with a slightly different insertion depth, we change not just the mp specs but also the gap distance, so it makes it impossible to know how much the mp affected the results and how much the wider/narrow gap affected the results.
