I noticed the motorized pot, is there a remote that will interface with the unit?

Wait, is Flat 6db a cut?
Anyway, really really impressive.

6.2V Zener diode D14 appears in the parts list, but not on the schematics. It appears on a pic of Shannon's PCB on eBay, at one end of RL3, the o/p muting relay. It does not appear on Shannon's PCB pics in this thread.
There must be a story behind this, and I am curious. Why, and where is it connected. Thanks.
