I have 8 machines and only 3 made noises after installing V9OS. Cables on all of them were loose but only 3 made the awful noise. You can tighten the cables yourself enough to stop the noise, but without the force tension gauge you cant get it within spec. Having said that they are probably not within spec now if they are too loose. I know the techs out there are getting their blood pressure up but if you tighten the cable enough to stop the noise and no tighter they probably wont be too tight. So again it's your call. You will see an improvement in stitch quality and a quieter running machine with V9 OS. If you don't want to install the OS right now just install the V9 DS and save the files as a V7. V9 DS is not without it's problems but the guys at Melco are working hard on getting them fixed. Steve I.
