Ray,
I have had a PA2XPRO for 2 years. No problems at all in the hardware. A few EARLY PA2XPRO's had issues with some bad parts in the boards controlling the led's. Korg fixed them under warranty with new boads. If you bought a new one recently you should not worry at all. I do use a power surge protector and I am going to buy a UPS soon as well..just as insurance as you should with any electronic item of value. This is really important if you gig with it, you don't know what kind of power you may get!!!

Of course, like every arranger there is a lot to like and a few things you may want different. I love mine. I will take some time and effort to learn the PA, but, you will fid a lot of PRO features to enjoy!

Also, remember on the forum there is a lot of different people posting with varying degrees af both experience and smarts....

If you have questions/issues you run into, just ask about them on the Korg PA forum and we will help as much as possible.
