[TenTec] Centurion Amplifier...

[Duane A Calvin]

The Centurion is significantly quieter than the Centaur.  There is still
some noise from the relay clicking, but it is quieter.  (My new Alpha 99
has a louder relay in QSK than the Centurion).  The Centurion also tunes
more smoothly.  Mine had a bit of an occasional "buzz" caused by the HV
deadman interlock switch level rattling against the cabinet top - easily
cured with a small piece of electricians tape on the top.  You will
really like the Centurion compared to the Centaur - I sure did!  You will
want to use 220V.
