must be very disappointing :-(
this is the first negative thing i've heard about blacet.
hopefully the other modules are more reliable (and hopefully
you will get your repaired final filtre back soon).
i thought about buying the blacet filters too, but then i counted
the filter modules i already have. i was a bit surprised,
because i counted 15 modules and there is still another
pre-ordered filter (a107) in the pipeline.
so i refused to buy another filter and ordered the
vco, miniwave, time machine and binary zone only.

best wishes
