So the problem is not repeatable now? Moisture would seem to be the
#1 suspect, but I hear recordings from 20 NT-1A's  we have in regular
circulation and I don't recall hearing distortion like you describe
from them (or the 6 I use). With this track record in mind, if they
produce the problem at the same time, as Klas inquired, I'd guess
that points to the pre or a intermittent relation the NT-1A's have
with the 670 pre. Rob D.
