Received my FM9 yesterday. Had a minor scare. Unplugged my FM3 and used the same connections with the FM9. No sound. Input meter was registering, but no sound. (Thought I) checked the connections well, but nothing. Put the FM3 back and got sound. Back to the FM9 and there was sound. I assume the output cable wasn't fully seated initially. Spent a few hours demoing the presets, especially the ones with FM9 in the name. Everything I expected. The additional switches are a big bonus to me as I already can envision how to rework my presents/scenes.
In a prior message, I mentioned a bad experience with a UPS delivery. Well, this is the opposite. I saw it was out for delivery and with their "follow my delivery", I saw the truck was outside my building. Since it was after "concierge" hours, I went down to the mail room to meet the driver. On the way down, the driver called me, letting me know he has a package that requires a signature and if he could come up to my apartment.
