After all, from the responses
Lawdawg, I don’t think any were doubting the condition just posting feedback generated by the query with some stream of thought on what could be causative for described issue.

I know I’ve felt a tad odd at times repeatedly posting feedback that I had no major issues with my original 950 which had displayed discernable levels of hiss to me on first acquisition, (yet- not to some (deaf?) guinea pigs I rousted for help in the neighborhood). Resultantly becoming to all intents hiss-less, with some tweaking I did and the addition of higher sensitivity, broader frequency range capable, speaker upgrade. But I posted regardless when that topic arose due to whatever value my experience’s could impact on the discussion, that (for me) I was able to cumulatively tweak and upgrade hiss out of my system. (Theorizing that if these actions could impact my system, - it might be beneficial to others possibly dealing with related issues). Although at times I’m sure it just frustrated some to hear so.

When many post…”I don’t have the issue”….I think there just trying to add to the baseline collective experiences of owners, and tally in numbers of whom don’t experince or try to add thoughts on whatever possible resolutions or detective type think tanking on what could generate the issue ….or possibly fix it.
Thanks for posting ‘the fix’ which worked for you.

I’m debating right now ordering another 770, - or a 750 optioning adding the 200’s to it, at a later date. Or waiting to see how the ‘little brother’ of the 770 pans out. So I appreciate seeing feedback from all owners of these products.

The damp plywood was a great visual,- I’ve seen what that can look like, although worse when solid boards twist!

Thanks for the tip lawdawg. I received two 200’s on Jan 9 and both wobbled. One a little, the other a lot. I was able to make shims to solve the problem but the suggestion from Scott is much neater. When I get a chance I’ll remove the shims & try the top cover screw “alignment” method.

Two questions come to mind:
1) Why there is a wobble in the first place, and
2) Why isn’t Scott’s fix posted in tips etc. section as you mentioned

Anyway they sound great. And I’m very pleased with the amps wobble or not.

The short height of the chassis undoubtedly makes it less rigid than a taller chasis would be. Probably more screws holding the unit together would cure the problem.

Okay, I feel better. Being overly sensitve--sorry.

FWIW, I was happy with the 200 in every respect except the wobble. Thanks to the fix, I am very happy and DON'T think that any other shortcomings should be inferred from the wobble.

Finally got around to trying the fix suggested by Scott & posted by lawdawg. It works as advertised. Took me longer to remove my home made shims than to loosen & retighten the top cover screws. And what do you know no wobble.

This tip should be posted under “200-M Tips and Tricks” for all new 200 owners to see.

Thanks again.
