The first mail seemed to imply that the frequency shift is quite large,
this would require a large gardient.
If the observed error was very small, ok, this would explain the time lag.
But why do some voices lag, and others don't. Is there perhaps a large thermal
gradient also on the boards? I guess PSU. Are the "failing" voices naer to
areas of large power consumption ?
m.c.
