Any other SB2 owners feel this way?
I think there are some that do. I know that my preference would be to have a choice between an up spec'd SB in a component case and the current SB2 package. I'd want to own one of the up spec'd units for my hifi, standard units as needed for around the house.
What does "up spec'd" mean? In short, any hardware changes that might make the SB better at the following: sounding great, connecting to hifi equipment, looking good/fitting well in a hifi equipment stack.
This has come up a few times in the past. I think the group went so far as to suggest and react to various individual upgrages. It seems the hardware hackers are on the job, and various tweaks are being tried and tested. Once the tweaks that actually perform are identified, I'm hopeing that at least some of them would end up in a future SD product.
At the present, my up-spec list might look something like this. Subject to change as more is learned.
