I agree. I own quite a few Studio Projects products, and I use most of them quite regularly. I'm particularly partial to my B3 mics and my SP828 mic pres.
Here's a suggestion that is quite relevant to this thread and this community. Alan posted a long list of improvements in the new mics:
There are quite a few of us here who already own the mics from the original "classic" series of SP mics. I can't help but wonder whether some small portion of the improvements listed above couldn't be retrofitted into our existing mics. Many of us are perfectly willing to swap components in our mics if we think they can be improved. And Brent and Alan have already identified some of the changes that they feel make the most sense.
Clearly, there is an argument against releasing this information - they may feel that it would undercut sales of the new models. But I don't think this would be the case, mostly because it is clear that only a small subset of the set listed above would be doable in the context of the current circuit board. But a few of them probably could be, and I think that Studio Projects would be able to earn a great deal of good will by releasing that information.
This is the kind of thing that creates a good reputation, just like the excellent customer service that Harvey mentioned in his note.
If nothing else, Brent could publish some suggested component changes in a magazine article, or perhaps a series of them. He'd earn both good will and good publicity for his company, pick up a few hundred bucks for writing the article, and head off any similar article that might come from another author. Heck, someone's bound to do it eventually. It might as well be you!
