What’s different about the latest model?

A: Better RCA connectors
B: Better tube sockets
C: Better PCB isolation
D: Better layout of signal tracings
E: Better Pwr supply design
F: Mosfets are not in the signal path.
G: Critical parts evaluation for sonic attributes in critical locations
Yes very true!
If you look closely maties... you'll notice a slightly silver type of finish on the SE connections of the ART88. These are actually a Rhodium plated flash, which is what it's called, superb finish!

Most do gold plating or silver plating, JF takes that to a whole other level with a Rhodium finish. That's quite pricey as it is! Like I said before, there are no compromises at this level and yet he manages to push his own boundaries. A true legend!
Woof! RJ

Hmmm. Rhodium is kryptonite to Marty.

When Marty visits me he's going to waive his rhodium detector around, and if he gets any meter deflection, he's going to call in a chopper for immediate extraction.

Same with Fulsom.
