You are right. I only ranted about 2 of them and those were the ones that bothered me the most. We have hadaround 8 in the last 3 months go bad also. i just was focusing on mine because that is what bothered me. It almost seems like Rti got overwelmed with the amount of T2-Cs that got purchased that the quality control took a back seat.we have had 0 problems with anything else. Well a few cm-232 cables went bad but other than that, just T2-Cs.
