No, never heared that, but if it's so i know why, because of the price or is there another brand that makes better audio chips? never heard about that neither...
But you're talking about bad circuits etc.?! That isn't there with the T39, the only thing maybe is the lower refresing rate of the screen, the rest should be an software issue.
The T39 is just being said as a player with really good circuits, that's why some say it sounds better than a D2. The first run has (almost??) the same circuit, but it was not putted well in the body, that's why thing came loose.
@SkySports: Whaha, but don't mind otherwise we hadn't got your info

By the way could you give me some feedback on ebay?
