I have had three Ultras, and my best friend has had 2. Each have that same loose feeling input jack. So I would guess it's normal.
Also I wanted to mention on my first Ultra (bought almost 2 years ago) When you turned off the power, the screen would have those black lines going across the display. But....
On the last 2 I have owned (the one I currently have I bought just last week), this is no longer the case. When you turn the power off, no lines. The screen just goes blank right away. Also, the newer units have clicky style buttons instead of the soft, noisless touch ones. I like the clicky better myself.
Also the units ship with a new bound manual instead of the binder style that looked like it was done down at kinkos. The new manuals are for version 8 and later.
When you turn the input knobs the input LED's will still flicker. No noise, just the meters flicker.
No USB, head phone jack or 44.1 sample rates yet.
:roll:
Also, the internal fan is still loud to me!!
:shock:
Other than that it's the same great machine!!
