I will concur with Bob on this one. Unless you have a concrete slab
for the A100, you will experience crash noises from the necklace. It's
just too sensitive.  Replacement of the necklace with a later stretch
spring type shouldn't be a problem, if the coil impedances match. I
intend to do this with mine.
