Just for the heck of it for my own info on the =93popping=94 issue, here=92s
a couple stats. Normal sound vs. (modified)
Set turn on mvdc readings 507 (598) falling to 13 (-61) average 52 (48)
duration 1.2 sec (1.5)
Set turn off mvdc readings =96451 (-1224) rising to =9635 (476) average
=96268 (-97) duration .3 sec (.7)
Set turn on mvac readings 273 (294) falling to 20 (32) average 84 (108)
duration .9 sec (.9)
Set turn off mvac readings 301 (1065) falling to 16 (17) average 86
(224) duration 1.2 sec (1.2)
No difference in any readings during normal viewing, changing channels,
ect.
So going by the readings there is a noticeable difference, and
definitely more pop will be heard if the circuit is modified, mostly at
turn off, so my opologies, definately a pop issue
