[Avodah] Chazarta Hashas.

=======================================
 Look at Igros Moshe, Orech Chaim Chelek Daled, Siman Yud Tes.

===================================
Yes- In which he prohibits it - but differentiates between if 10 aren't
listening (there it's mdina) versus if 10 are listening(then can't do
since others may learn from you and not answer amen)

So again - any sources that say it is OK? If not, why do we see people
doing it and not being corrected?

Joel Rich 
=======================================

A follow on question - it seems (correct me if I'm wrong) that the
universal minhag is that people (including rabbanim) who wear tfillin on
chol hamoed take them off during chazarat hashatz and also prepare their
4 minim (even leaving the room to get them) during the same time period.
I wonder why there is not a similar concern as above?
