What you need is an old TELEPHONE handset. Unscrew the receiver cap and you will find flat round thing that will drop into your hand or my have some wires attached to it. Look for a little black thing across the terminals. Little fatter than a resistor and has 100A on it. Carefully remove it and discard the handset unless you need a carbon mike. Put the little 100A across the headphone line of your Corsair or you can make up an adapter using a male stereo plug and a female stereo jack to plug the headset into. Connect the little 100A across the headset line. Inside the 100A is just two diodes, back to back, so they clip the pop and let audio through. And it is FREE !

Recently acquired a Corsair, works well but the sidetone thump kind of bugs me a little, I did the sidetone mods as per Ten Tec wiki and it sounds better but there is still a thump that increases as the power out is increased. Now I can live with it but boy it would really make it much more enjoyable taking out the thump, this thump happens with either slow or fast QSK.
Input appreciated, thanks
