Yep. And it's more than modern, it's CHEAP. That stuff from the MS 
company are all el cheapo grande. My Ten Tec Titans and Hercules amps, 
designed in the early 80s (the Titans by K4XU, I learned at Visalia this 
year), use quality vacuum relays and are VERY happy with 8 msec. Thank 
you, Dick, and thank you to the original Ten Tec gang, especially Al 
Kahn, K4FW, the true predecessor to Elecraft as a class act! Sadly, 
they're all SK. Al was one of the two founders of ElectroVoice, another 
very high class US company when they ran it.
