Probably, because no one would buy the new one if they already owned the older one.

might also be due to the newer model not being widely available, I haven't seen it advertised much by dealers, I could be wrong

I wonder if Fostex is just going to allow stock of the old model to sell out and then only have the newer model as the only one.

I believe there is no report saying the mk2 is sonically identical (or not) to the TH900 yet. Let's be patient here.

The 2 persons on this thread that have the mk2 didn't mention any changes sonically and ads only say that they now have removable cable.  I would hope it gets reviewed buy a respected review source to confirm changes, if any.

See my post on page 2 of this thread regarding that. No changes sonically.
