Id ask first though how many Sherbourn procs have been having trouble via input into their forums?
Adding another $2k to the price tag if the above is true sure seems like a poor deal to me . At first sight, IF indeed there are no changes what so ever besides the name plate. Or those differences dont amount to anyting near $2K . well. Someone will buy it.
The thing is this, sub contracting out production doesnt always indicate the piece is an identical copy when it is finished. This and that part or design change could well have been implemented.
ATI makes or did, Lexicon amps among several other brands. Its just what they do.
Are all those other name brands the same identical amps that ATI sells under its own banner?
Simply altering the parts of a power supply will alter the sound we all should know that by now. Change wiring, ckt boards, even the solder being used could make significant changes.
Which ever way this works out is fine by me. Buy & wait for the orig, or get a modified one made by them for someone else for mo money.
Or as was said, select something else where you perceive better performance and value to be. Being smart about buying is always the responsibility of the buyer as has always been the case. Cat Emperor!
