I am getting impatient but have only reach a five month waiting period so far. Oct is my estimated delivery date.
My routine after reconnecting the mains is to first reset the power conditioner to turn the infernal LED's off. The I power up the MA8000 (used now as the C50 preamp) and I set volume output to Zero. I let it idle for about a minute before powering on the M1502 (manually, no trigger cables), which I also let sit at idle for a few minutes before turning on any of the source components that I intend to use.

Since I've been doing it this way I haven't had any issues with Sentry Monitor engaging. The thing has a hair trigger that's for sure. (At least in my unit). Nice to know it works though.

Hang tough on the wait. I know exactly how you feel watching the calendar days tick by slowly. It'll happen, just be patient and make sure you have help unboxing or have your dealer do it for you.

Thanks for the kind words on the review.
