Is there any visual distinction of the Conductor V2 and the former Conductor Virtuoso? They seem to be identical from the outside. How to know which is which? Even the writing on mine says Conductor Virtuoso!

 
My Conductor V2+ says that it is a V2+ right on the back.

My backplate has the same printed writing, just the sticker is over the empty USB port (because it is a V2 not V2+) but does not show anything.

Very nice looking system. Which Kefs are those?

Hmm that's interesting that the sticker over your USB port is blank. As you can see with my sticker, V2+ is marked clearly.

One other way to tell is to look at the volumn control chip on the PCB. Burson moved to the Burr Brown PGA2310 volumn control in the V2.

Those are 3-way KEF R300. Very nice speakers.
 
The Conductor Virtuoso also used PGA2310 as far as I see here. So no changes there.

Well if that is the case then I'm not sure how to tell. You may want to ask Burson.

Alex confirmed me it is a V2 although no writing is visible from the outside.

So how could he tell that it is a V2?  This information would be valuable for others looking to buy used V2s.

Now there is a Black (Noir) version.  Burson again going to IDGG and giving 15% discount for those of you thinking about getting a Conductor V2+.  Be quick!

I just checked their website as well as out on Indiegogo and didn't see any new campaign for the Noir version.  Do you have a link?

Has anyone tried the hifiman edition X on the V2+?
Or perhaps the oppo PM3?

I'm considering buying the HEX online. I wonder if these are too sensitive. And also concerned my head is too small...
Comments appreciated... But may return to the 400i... (As the ZMF line aren't vegan).

D'oh!
Scratch that... The cheap pair I saw on Amazon seemed to have been sold... Sadness.

I guess I don't understand what it takes for a product to be considered vegan. Why are the ZMFs not considered vegan? I was under the impression Zach offers vegan earpads and the pilot pad both made out of protein leather (Pleather). Maybe I'm way off base.

I (hope) I have a V2+ as well - at least that's what it says on the invoice. No sticker on mine. There is indeed no way to tell from the outside which version it is?

Contact Burson and they will tell you if your unit is a V2+
