- Although I do not agree to the general tone in the first response in this
- thread either, I must say the GUS does sound a lot better. The specs also
- supports this view.
-
- However, that was not the question in the original posting. I believe the SB
- Pro 2 is the new-and-improved version of the SB Pro featuring an OPL-3
- Yamaha 20 voice stereo FM chip (which name eludes me for the moment) as well
- as a reduced size PCB. I cannot think of any other differences for the
- moment, but I'm sure some SB Pro owner can supplement this info.
