Some new (compared to the first Premium)

- added 2x and 48x writing speeds
- added Yamahas Audiomaster mode
- Varirec now can be set in .1 steps
- Gigarec 0.6x up to 1.4x (adding .9x and 1.1x settings)
- added Plexeraser
- short build (17cm)
---------------------------------------------------
Never had a premium plextor drive. Interesting new feature is 'AudioMaster mode'. Lately, i try to 'simulate' Yamahas audiomastermode with my Px-716A, ie: setting Gigarec to 0.8x in combination with Varirec to +1 or +2 ...
:)
 
My Premium v.1 started spitting out one coaster out of three blank media inserted after just 200 burns, so I don't think I will honour their product- especially if this one also costs 100+ bucks... For serious ripping, I STILL use a seven-year old SCSI Ultraplex 40 TSi, which still works like a champ. Same goes for a Plexwriter 12/10/32S (also SCSI) which I gave to a friend some years ago, but everything from Plextor bought by me after the 12/10/32S was either a dissapointment (for its price), or a total failure (Plexwriter 24/10/40).
Thanks for the news, though.
