In the meantime it's worth noting that I've had several reports from owners who are unable to replicate and none who haven't. (Apart from Stever's post above, that is.)

I shall start publishing the score soon.

Hi Matthew, John, all,

Noel has found something factual he feels worth commenting upon. It's not likely he will be wrong and so any challenge would just be a case of how you see it affecting use in the real world.

John should test the review amp as it may simply have a fault. It may be a common fault due to a wiring method, missed connection, or component such as TX batch, that several builders repeat and so may be in some amps but not others. Is it just on Std or XL build etc.

If you don't find a problem you still can't deny Noel found one so I'd ring him first for clarification of exactly what you're looking for and what he thinks will fix it.
