In my experience and opinion, most of the problems addressed 
at the capo are tuned front duplex related, rather than the 
actual termination.

I am curious though, how many techs out there find noisy 
agraffes to be a problem, and if anyone but the tech hears it. 
The zingers in the capo section, typically at unison(s) with 
the longest front duplex(es) are discussed endlessly on both 
lists and have been since the beginning. For a rampant problem 
that's worth at least two hours of  - someone's - time to 
avoid, it seems odd to me that there is so very little mention 
of it in the archives.
