I would have to agree with your opinion. The Gen 2 is an improvement over the original. The switching power supply is better. The new circuit board is a huge improvement plus bigger and better caps. There are no excess blobs of solder on the board as there was with the original. These little units are easy to tweak to get some more performance out of them, like running them for off a 12VDC car battery. The Gen 1 was a steal at $39 for all the things it could be used for. The Gen 2 is still a good deal at $80 when all you need is a small amp. And it has volume control to boot! -- iPhone iPhone Last.FM http://www.lastfm.com/user/mePhone Media Room: Transporter, Vandersteen Quatro Signature, Ayre MX-R Mono Blocks, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, VCC-5 Reference Center Channel, four VSM-1 Signatures, Runco 710, RAM Oppo DV970HD, VeraStarr 6.4SE Living Room: SqueezeBox Duet, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold Bedroom: Squeezebox 3, Thiel 2.3, NAD C370 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46743 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
