Ooooooaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!

That was not good news!!

But i just had to have a look my self, and luckily
the LM13700/MX//N is in "full production" status!!

Actually for us Diy'ers the LM13700 is a better device
then the 13600 because of the better spec and the "non following"
darlington buffer who popps and clicks with fast attac/decay rates!

Othervise ,Philips still doing their 13600clone!
