Hi Tom

The two models look the same except for the additional SD card slot and USB
ports on the Plus.  I still use my original Sonata upstairs as it was a
birthday present from Martin three years ago.  It is slower than the Plus,
but I have been very pleased and lucky with my units.


Kind regards,

Hi Jim,

I have the original Sonata and the quality of the sound is terrible. 
It's even worse listening to it via the Hi Fi.
Maybe this podcast was done using the old one.
They should recall these old Sonata's and dump them.
Out of curiosity, does the new Sonata Plus still have it's speaker 
covered in cloth, it's so so old fashioned.

Tom.
