Retomo este post porque no encuentro en ningun lugar la diferencia entre el LA-610 y el LA-610 MKII, que es el que tienen en thomann actualmente.
Si alguien puede arrojar un poco de luz sobre el tema, sera muy bien recibida!
he encontrado algunos inputs:

The Universal Audio LA-610 MKII is a second-generation revamp of the original 2005 LA-610 design. While the preamp and compressor are identical to the original LA-610 that users have come to know and love, user-requested features such as true compressor bypass, larger metering, improved output signal, an auto-sensing power supply have been added bringing the end user an enhanced user experience. The LA-610 Mk II also features the highly popular “black on black” cosmetics of the LA-610 Signature Edition.

As I understand it, I think the old LA610 was voiced brighter to compensate for the unbypassable darker sound of the opto compressor whereas the MKII preamp is not "voiced" in this way, and so sounds identical to the Solo 610 preamp etc.
The output is also able to go 3dB hotter than before which may be the improvement they are referring to.
As for the black face: I think it looks great.
In the past I was put off by the extremely light action on the LA610 MK1 knobs, I thought they felt cheap and nasty. But I'm pleased to report that the Mk2 has a very pleasing resistance to the knobs and feels super high quality.
There are other differences too, such as use of LED's in the VU meter and power light. It's all listed on the UA website.
Anyway it sounds totally awesome!

MK II Improvements
* True Bypass of the Compressor Circuit
* Larger and Better Lit Metering
* Improved Output Signal Performance
* Auto-Sensing Universal Power Supply
* Improved stability with feedback-style shelving EQ
* Improved consistency with Input Gain values
* LED Jewel Light Never Needs Replacing
hombre creo que lo pone bien claro:
true bypass (Es cierto que en el antiguo aunk pongas el compresor en bypass sus controles siguen afectando a la señal.
el vumeter mas grande y mejor iluminado.
el led parece ser k no se cambia nunca, no sabia k en el otro se tenia k cambiar, algun dia me tocara.
la fuente se autoajusta parece ser, por lo k no tienes k abrir el cacharro y ajustarla al voltaje de tu zona.
y ajustes con la señal de entrada, de salida, y del circuito de EQ, ahora bien, eso no quiere decir que suene mejor, diferente puede que si.
Estoy entre un UA y un Summit? He oido maravillas de los summit también.
Con cuál os quedais? Quiero un sonido gordo y cálido. Añejo.
