This is not a common problem. Reports are few and far between. But, if and when you do see a problem of this sort, please send a very detailed report so that we can try to figure out what is going on and correct it if we are able. It might be something in the amplifier, something in your environment or some combination. So when it happens, please let us know, along with all the details. We really do want all our products to be as perfect as possible.
