I spot a couple of obvious improvements in build quality.
Nice to see Allo has decided to use soldered speaker terminals this time around.
The screw-type connects used on the Volt+ plug and play version are actually too large for the small gauge wire they use.
At one point I pulled mine apart because I lost a channel [bad connection at the attenuator].
I doubled-over the wire at the speaker terminals and attenuator to ensure better contact.
Prior to that, the wires wiggled in the connectors even when tightened all the way down.
Wouldn't have been a problem if they'd used at least 20 gauge hook-up wire.
I also didn't like that the power line was bundled in with the input/output signal wiring.
I separated it all as best I could without re-soldering the board connections when I had it apart.
Not a problem with the Volt+D as power goes direct to the board.
