Finally took delivery on my long-backordered D1624 last night. Hustled it downstairs, read the manual, installed the disk drive, slammed it in the rack, powered it up- and found that there was nobody home. Dead front panel/remote. The disk drive spins up, but with no front panel there's no way to control the device, so I have a couple of grand tied up in a 3-slot paperweight. Not a happy camper.
What sort of experiences have people had with Fostex QC in this modern digital age? They used to be sort of so-so, years ago, and this isn't encouraging. If a lot of people have had DOAs recently, I may return this to the vendor, pull my hard earned shekels back out of it, and get in the queue for an MX2424 instead of waiting more weeks for another D1624.
What say you folks?
