Well, this is my first post, but I feel obligated to respond.
I picked-up an SB+ from Patrick a couple of weeks ago to round out my
upgraded system. Patrick was nice enough to make one for me in record
time, even with my specially ordered maple sides.
My system consists of the SB+, Nac 202, NAP

Patrick,
Does anyone in the U.S. have an SB+ ?

Hey, I have an idea.
Patrick once mentioned trying the SB+ here in the US.
maybe we could form a group audition in the states. We could compile a
list of our homes to audition the SB+ , each person gets a week or two
or three (whatever we decide on ) and then sends it to the next person.
we could

Interesting idea, a "no risk" [not the Bel Canto kind] trial for the
SB+. Course I am in the States so probably this couldn't be worked out,
but I would love to audition this against my SB3/Electrocompaniet DAC or
Benchmark DAC. Anybody in the States willing to loan out a unit? I will
offer some k
So anyway, on the SB+, two questions:
1 - How much is it? Website seems silent on this.
2 - Do you (Patrick?) have a nice 'borrow it for a fortnight' deal,
card secured of course? Adding a 'oh and feel free to test it against
this Transporter that you can also borrow on the same terms' deal wo
I haven't tried the plug-in but I used to have a Tact RCS.

I have paid attention to mains power with a very decent four way gang
(by Alner Hamblin)and serious mains cable but apart from the SB+ it was
room correction that was the last utterly blinding change - dunno if you
have had a look at the inguz stuff (which is free!) but the Tact

I have my SB+ plugged into one of these:

the improvement is 'astonishing'!

Can't contribute to the SB+ vs Transporter debate since I have never
heard a Transporter. But I guess I do count as one of Patrick's
(nearly) silent SB+ owners who dont post here much.Might be worth
explaining why. FWIW Ive stopped changing front ends now the SB+ beats
anything else Ive had in my
A/B, as far as I know, is short for "comparing A to B". It doesn't
imply anything about for how long, blind or not, etc.
How can that be silly? How else can you possibly differentiate between
two options?

Thanks for your reply Patrick, and the additional info. I wish there
were some way to A/B the two, but we all know A/B tests are silly
anyway! Right now, I am enjoying my normal SB3 very much, but I use
Dac's. I love all the modding that goes on with these things, keep it
up!

The SB+ was based on the SB2, but is now based on the SB3. The SB2 &
SB3 are pretty similar anyway. The SB+ has been around since December
2005, long before the Transporter.
There are a few people who have heard both the SB+ and the Transporter.
So far they all prefer the SB+, however, I'm very

I'm not too certain it matters as I thought that virtually the only
difference between the SB2 and the SB3 was the box.

I'm sure a PM to Patrick Dixon will get you an answer. However, I'm not
too sure anyone but him will have had an SB+ and a Transporter together
at the same time.
I'm more than happy with the sound of the Transporter though, but
prefer the fact that the SB+ has no knob and buttons and is half the

Thanks for the links to threads, but no one really commented on the
sound of the SB+ or compared it to the Transporter. One thread was a
flame war concerning a "sibilant" SB3! I'm really loving my SB3's into
two different DAC's (Electrocompaniet and Benchmark) in two different
systems so I'm sure
Couple of threads that may be relevant, but you really want to speak to
