Maybe they could offer a new, upgrade-style mod with tweaks and fixes so that existing owners wouldn't have to (re)buy a new one, they could just send their own amp in for the mod.

I wonder what they'd do different if they could have an amp back and re-visit the design from an intellectual perspective? Would it be a rethink of the power supply, main circuit topology, or output devices? Interesting to think about. It reminds me of how Nelson Pass started out with the original First Watt design, then continued to rethink that original topology with subsequent First Watt designs.
