V3 Noise

[Michael Carr <Mike4443@ix.netcom.com>]

I just read the review of the Hammond XM-1 module in the new April issue
of Keyboard.

In it they discuss the competition, including the V3. The reviewers had
two V3s, one that was "well traveled," and a brand new one from Voce.

They say that the used one was quite noisey, while the new one sounded
great.

I bought a new V3 in December, and am frustrated by the noise.  The Voce
factory said the noise was in the Spin circuitry, and there was no way
to avoid it except to bypass the Spin through the effects out or through
the Leslie out.  Other than that, my only choice was to use EQ to get
out the noise.

How come the reviewers got a new V3 that "sounded great" (no noise)?? I
want a no-noise model too.

Any ideas on this?
