I have sent an email to Roger inquiring about the upgrade. Clio09 - can I ask a few questions? How did the sonics change with the upgrade ? Do u remember what got better what worse - or was it all good ? What speaker/s are you basing the impressions on ? Much appreciated.

Yes I have read reports in the past about preferences between 1 and 2 versions. It really helps when you are close to the manufacturer for repairs / upgrades. Pubul57 Well I just completed 3 years of what could easily be defined as analog Lunacy - so heh - why not use that as a lead into some Amp/Preamp Lunacy now. Thank you for the link.
