Very intertesting (and clever!)!

This suggests to me that there must be something going on in the wireing to the bias controls that is injecting noise into the amps... something that I will have to talk with Jud about.... It can well be that RFI is sneaking in via the system that connects the amp to the built in LCD meter... loading it by pushing one of the bias buttons down may give the noise somewhere to go or prevents it from making its way in.
Happy Listening,

  Just wondered if this was ever solved besides this little fix?
  
  I have the EXACT same behavior with my VZN100 MK V's and assumed they are all that way. I noticed it reduced the noise when the driver test buttons are pushed, but never even thought about operating it that way full time. The risk of screwing up and pushing a bias button simultaneously seems too great to me.

  I previously had Reimer Teton GS's which were 95db sensitivity and it was really intrusive with them on quiet passages. I didn't worry about it too much since I had VSM-MX's on order and after talking with Jud a couple of times I decided it was normal and I'd just have to live with it. With both my TSM-MX's and the VSM-MX's, the reduced sensitivity helped, but the noise/hum is definitely still there.

  These amps otherwise sound so terrific. Do I need to just get over it and enjoy them?
