I know you were psyched to get up and running, but this stuff happens. It seems whenever I pull the trigger on something and want it immediately, shite always goes wrong.

It's electronics--I have had things that were bad from opening the box too. Don't let it get you down. MD is open on Saturday mornings, so call them tomorrow AM and tell them all the different things you have tried and that you have traced it back to the preamp section of the Quad...they should easily replace it.

It could be worse--I've got $35k in shot gear right now and am just beginning the wrangling phase of dealing with the crappy insurance company!

Lol I can only imagine, yeah I'm gonna see if they will let me do that way I have something until then... If it's fine in the morning would you even deal with call or don't even take the chance?


Just crazy to me it's working perfect now

Also, remember that since online purchasing has become the norm for the last 10 years, there is a lot of delicate gear that is being handled by the likes of UPS and FedEx. 20 years ago, this wasn't the case.

The delicate gear was usually shipped via pallet on a freight truck directly to the local dealer, where it was unloaded carefully, as the store owner usually oversaw, and traveled 20 feet to the back of the store.

Upon the sale, you would carefully put it in the trunk of your car and take it home...usually with no damage.

With Internet sales, the gear all need to take a second, long distance trip, but this time not by trucking on a pallet, but by UPS or FedEx--and herein lies the problem...they beat the crap out of things.

So, your gear just might have taken a bump that dislodged a small connection. Small set back for now, but after a few months, you will forget about it.

Hopefully you can be back running by Wednesday or Thursday.
