Had a similar thing happen with the gamut cd-1 I ordered. The transport and most boards, are supported by delicate rubber isolators. The box, while delivered with little damage, must have been used for a hocky puck by UPS dudes wielding massive sticks. Luckily my dealer, Joe with JC Audio, had me ship it to direct to his guy in California for fixing. I got it back within a week in flawless condition. It is a long way back to Denmark...Gamut had few kind words about the US shippers. It seems all of thier problems occur on this side of the Atlantic. It is the problems that make you appreciate the good dealers. They always step up to the plate
