Great. A friend of mine has figured out a way to drastically reduce the
noise in the Polaris, but it involves lifting some chip pins and connecting
them in the air. He'll probably include a set of pre-wired chips in the kit
when he finishes his new output board design, so that it won't require any
soldering.
