geez jamie, you may not want to here this.
sony's recent attemp at a home theater preamp had a user upgradeable
update. the friggin thing cost over $130!!!!! this was a CD and a
serial cable...
as for the readable faceplate, i bought an xcr-c900 about 5 years ago.
the display was TERRBILE.
i bought a refurb one from ebay earlier this year. and man, the display
was like nite and day! i no longer hand to shade the display during
sunlight just to read it.
so i guess they fixed that problem...
btw, you made some very good points. i'll be collecting them and
handing them to the sony reps next month in CES.
