Re: EchoplexDP Plus: "tick-tick-tick" noise problem

[Michael Firman <maf@mlswebworks.com>]

Now that I can hear this, it isn't "clock noise" at all.
It sounds very much like you bumped the cable or connector
while you were in record mode. Perhaps one of you plugs
doesn't fit quite correctly or is extra loose or some such thing.
This doesn't sound like an EDP problem (unless it is a bad
or dirty jack on the EDP).
