Anyone had experience or has had this problem? When I first got the amp when I turned it on it was instant on... Now after 8 months when I turn on the amp its takes like a good 15 seconds for it to power up. After that it will power up instantly for awhile unless it sets for a couple of hours off.. Is this a new feature with a firmware upgrade? I have only started noticing it in the last week or so and its seeming to me its taking longer and longer to power up..

Thanks you all...

When I got my first Mustang V it powered on once, played for about an hour and a half, powered off by itself and never powered on again...
Sent it back and the replacement has been ok for four months now...
