Actually, I don't know how it sounds when it is working properly, its conceivable its causing the effect you are hearing. Others on the list with these receivers can tell you how they should perform normally. It may be that it just does not have good audio.

This circuit actually causes problems even when it’s working correctly.  It pretty well screws up HQ-series audio, IMO.  There’s a simple fix for it here:
