Are you maybe new to Analog synths?
Even if you let both Osc’s FineTune to 0, they will dephase anyway as they slightly drift because of the legendary analog instability. So if you only use 1 osc., it’s normal that it sounds more uniform. Same goes when you go Mono compared to 2 voices because of each’s character difference.
 
It’s too bad your voice 14 is faulty. Now I’m wondering if your 1st A6 was ok? Anyway you’ll get apparently a replacement. That’s good news! A little patience. just keep it pristine for the exchange for the next user after repair.
If you didn’t return yet the faulty A6, what you can do is turn off voice 14 and still use your A6:
-          Global Menu
-          Press softknob VoxMon
-          Press shift button to access the 2nd range of 8 voices
-          Press 6/14 Mix button to turn it off.
 
Voilà!

Thanks to everyone for your help, there has been some really useful information posted. I sat down for around 3 hours last night trying hardware resets, software resets, velocity settings, voice modes etc. In the autotune menu voice 14 in the autotune row is always marked with an F. On closer inspection its band 1 of osc 1 which displays as toolow and will not go in tune regardless of the number autotunes I perform. When I stripped the default program down to a single osc with a single waveform such as a saw, the tuning seemed reasonable with only a little drift. Even with osc 2 activated with a saw wave form in combination with osc was fine. It was only when tri and saw (or any two waveforms) were active on each osc the tuning became noticable which I am presuming is due to the number of voices being used. So it appears that there is only one bad voice in this andromeda, so unfortunately I'll need to join the queue and wait till January for the next batch Digital Village receive. 
 
Thanks again,
Stevie
