Peakmop has been really cool about this whole thing. The player is currently on its way to him so he can check it out. Maybe something got goofed, maybe I put the drives in wrong. I didn't want to post about it until he had a chance to look at it. His return time was super fast, his prices are great and he treated my empeg with care. He even packed my box in another box to send it to me! At one point, I over paid him by 10 dollars and he refunded me the money even though I never noticed.

He's been very honest and easy to work with. I kept telling him how much I appreciated him "pimping my empeg". He has two players in his posession with the same mods (plus a digital out board) that are running just fine. Maybe my player was "sick" from all those low battery warnings I had a while back.

I certainly don't want to scare anyone off before we figure out what's going on.
