[TenTec] Hiss and click on Orion sidetone -- OmniVI equivalent issue and experience

[Allan G. Taylor]

I have two classic Tentec OmniVI/option 3s and both of them give some character in
the headphone sidetone. At least part of what is going on is the very high fidelity of
the headphones I use. They are Sony MDR-V600s and have a range roughly equivalent to
studio quality phones or speaker system. But boy are they sensitive! The OmniVI has 
the set of resistors in the headphones circuit so they certainly aren't the cure. I could 
use a lesser quality headphone but am not willing to give up the comfortable and 
sensitive Sonys. 8 ohm headphones, of course.

No hiss but some mild clicks remain after the well-known "pull plug 52" fix. 

If a rig has a flaw, please let it be a slightly less than perfect sidetone!!! That's how I
think of the '6'.
