Yes,
This is the one thing I forgot to mention!
The famed ALC circuit and the 200 watt spike.
Be warned in advance if you have a delicate amplifier.
Otherwise, the rig is just great as is.  I do run it barefoot 90% of the
time, the other 10% is with an amp that is said to be un-affected by the
spike, at least the manufacturer claims so.  Therefore, if I have any
troubles down the road, you know who will be getting a phone call.

"too quick to jump in and modify a nicely engineered piece of equipment"

Actually, in the case of the 781... The factory seems to have screwed up
a "nicely engineered piece of equipment."

In the case of the 781 ALC circuit, the problem was introduced by a
production change... Error or misguided attempt to fix something... No
one knows...
