1) NEW Beefy Output Stage added to tail end before Output Transformer
2) Improved Gain switches with over 3 x the gold contact area per switch position
3) Light Pipe Pushbuttons like on the Wunderbar instead of small C&K toggle switches
4) Discrete Active HP Filter
5) Output fader

10) 1% Metal Film resistors for lower noise floor and better matching from channel to channel.

I'm curious to hear the difference between version 1 and version 2 . . . . .
