The SA-31MK linestage features a new output circuit with shorter signal paths, and adds a second set of 6N16 vacuum tubes to the original pair found in the SA-31. The new model is also said to incorporate higher-grade, European-sourced resistors and capacitors, electronic volume and input controls, two more sets of line inputs, plus a brushed-aluminum remote control (a feature Chris lamented the lack of when he reviewed the SA-31).
Like its predecessor, the SA-31MK offers a few, somewhat retro features that seem aimed at the buyer who may be stepping up to his first set of separates from an integrated amplifier or receiver: One is bass and treble controls that can be activated or deactivated via a front-panel button; the other is a LOUD(ness) switch to goose up the sound at lower listening levels.
