It seems to me that anyone bringing SBs to a wider market is only benefiting Slim Devices and their products. Every SB sold and modified is, after all, a SB sold by Slim Devices.
Good though the SB2 is (and it is good), the 'audiophile' market will always demand something better. It's a small and funny market and not one that SD is very well equipped to tackle (or many 'normal' people understand!). Many 'audiophiles' like the SB's features and connectivity, and so having an audiophile version that fits into the main system in place of a CDP, allows them to use 'standard' SB2s in other areas of the home where listening is not so 'serious'. We are long past the days of Henry Ford's "any colour you like; so long as it's black" - no 'one' SB product will ever cover everybody's wishes, and I personally enjoy seeing and reading about the wacky ways people rehouse and customise their SBs. -- Patrick Dixon www.at-view.co.uk _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
