Guys, I've been a member (of advancing years) for sometime but not messaged. I do so now as I've been using the SM2 for well over two years and generally been very impressed with overall sonic ability.
As a message to chucky, please keep the SQ mode as many of us still have plenty of SQ discs- if the SM3 runs cooler, that is a good thing and perhaps 270 degree stereo mode would be useful. Also, I am constantly switching inputs from streamers, turntable, tape, CD player etc, so it would be useful eventually
to have some switching without making the box much bigger. Please also find a distributor in the EU where I am based as posting back and forth to Australia is a pain. Lastly, I saw something about a (pre)ampli under development- interesting!
