Hi All
I'm a newbie to this group and have enjoyed reading all your posts. But sad=
ly, I also have this 8020 problem. (Btw Vicki, download Antoine's mp3 files=
from the link that says 'T=C3=A9l=C3=A9charger ce fichier'.)
I have just sent my brand new stereo set back to Syntec in Sydney and am wa=
iting to hear what they have to say. Hopefully I will also get a new set fr=
om this 'new' batch of mics that you spoke of Vicki. Fingers crossed!
