Remote control is now noise free. I asked Mick about the noise cause by remote and Tape Loop and here is his reply
"I've changed the remote operation so that it is now noise free. The noise only happened when the remote was being used for adjusting sound- there's no sonic degradation at all. The tape loop is now an option. There
seems to be more requirement now for HT bypass than tape loops, but I can still put it on, although you lose 2 sets of inputs.With the tape loop you have 3 inputs (phono,CD,FM) tape record and play, the HT input and 2 sets of outputs.Take out the tapeloop and you have 5 inputs. OR you can have any combination using 8 sets of RCA sockets- you choose."
