Hi!

Reminded by Richard Kemp that you had to wait a long time for your
Telinga, I had a look at it tonight.

I couldn't hear any "rumble on top of the self noise", as you
describe it, but I could hear a too high self noise.
This was caused by a condensor (in the voltage regulator) that didn't
polarize as it should.
I replaced it, and all I can do for now is to hope that I have fixed it!
I'll send it tomorrow.

Best wishes,

Klas.
