TubeOpto Issues
Anyone else having clocking issues with recent TubeOpto 8s? I've had multiple failures of a recent batch (purchased 10/13, 4 units so far) with bad clicks and pops when synced to ADAT. Sometimes all LEDs in the clock source LED bank extinguish completely and remain off. Other times the yellow indicator remains lit solidly as if the unit is still properly clocked. At no time does the indicator blink to indicate that the clock is unavailable. Often, pressing the clock source button does nothing.
At least one unit frequently refuses to sync unless power cycled after the system is up, and it may or may not stay running properly thereafter.
I took the most recent failure home from church and the problem was definitely verified to be in the TubeOpto.
Two other units purchased 8/2013, as well as one in my personal rig purchased back in 2010, are working flawlessly.
Pehaps a bad batch? Serial numbers of the verified defective units are all in the S1301461xx range.
