RE: Purchase of cartridge for future use ... what is best way to stash it to prevent degration?

I think it's like cheese and bread; both will age from within regardless of how you store them. But with cartridges, it's a crapshoot. I have some 30-year-old used cartridges that sound fantastic. In fact, I would be more leery of storing a cartridge long term without ever using it (NOS) vs using a cartridge lightly over a long period of time. The latter probably would better preserve the compliance of the suspension.
