Not knocking electron they have been good to me and they can get away with a lot in my book as they are not such a big manafacturer..........and boy do i love my electron , in fact everything i have bought i love ,its just that some of it broke down alarmingly fast . Also all the companies have been helpful but i just want stuff to work. My friend also has a mixmaster from focusrite which died almost to the day that mine did and we bought them at the same time ,maybe a dodgy component in a few of them or something. Anyway i feel more positive today i was being a bit of a moaning minnie yesterday , I have surge protection and also a mains power cleaner thats supposed to clean and regulate the power supply .
The other possibility is the retailer and what care they take of the gear they have in stock. My friend has a waldorf Q sounds amazing but been back to waldorf 3 times to be fixed,seems ok now though.
Have you heard mono machine thingy from electron?
and thanks for your reply
