I wonder if the manufacture made a slight revision and accidentally didn't ground the pot. Anybody else buy a stock Zero recently? Senofon, I actually have more confidence in the technical expertise of people in this thread over the seller. |

The AD8599 is a new audio opamp, that was reported to be more transparent, and more delicate as well, than the LT1364. |
