@lynn_olson Indeed. I also find it interesting to see that the new one is claimed to "further reducing non-linear effects and distortion" when the old one had "distortion measured in parts per billion".
So there is a lot of marketing there. Also, the pictures show a lot of non-traditional design. which is cool.
What isn't clear to me is how much of the original designer's genius is still captured, and what is the skill level of the person or team that took over the design.
Bottom line is that the ears will tell.
