[Amps] Status of Alpha

[Thomas Walsh]

Bravo Mike! This needed to come out in the amps forum.

When Array Solutions stated that the normal idle current in a 9500 was 
around 70ma.,

that was based on the two or three amps they had looked at. It is normal 
for idle current

to drift down over time, because the 8877's emission will be reduced but 
idle current needs

to be properly adjusted..not to mention your IMD numbers, which many 
seem to think are

the defining parameter will go to pot.

I wonder what they would do for a code 8? HA!

Beware of the non factory trained experts.

BTW, We are all caught up on 9500 repairs and I don't see any coming 
back in the near future,

there's a reason for that.
