But I believe the seller of the amp is stating in his description that when he had the Gold upgrade performed part of the upgrade is to take out the mechanism that prevents the thump in favor of better overall sound.

I had SMc do some upgrades in 2014 where it was also fully tested and "ready to go", while having the thump, they didn't mention it. The amp has worked flawlessly for me for years. I'm not too concerned about it, I leave the amp on most of the time anyway.

" Not true, I have a DNA-1 with a gold upgrade done around 2004 and Steve recommended just plug it in an play. No need to fix anything that's not broken!
