There is a saying in the quality control industry: "You can't QC in quality afterwards." If things (like the exciter supplies) failed often, I would have just have to conclude the things were just not that well made. I've gone through several MIL-spec inspections at a company I worked for. We had to track reject rates for our product, subassemblies and even individual IC's. The actual reject rate of decent quality, properly stored electronic components is quite low. (Although, we mostly used digital logic type IC's, not analog stuff.) I'm not saying that QC'ing a finished product is unnecessary, but it's sort of too late by then. Only two of the 12 worked out of the box?! Holy smokes! With delays on a job like that, an installer could loose money if that many don't work. Don't be surprised if the DBX engineering group had nothing to do with the Kintec group. The electronics company I worked for was owned by a $500 million a year parent company, yet gave us *no* resources. When I did engineering design, several times I was told; "Those parts are too expensive; find another way."
