Any difference with recent Omni's?

[bashville]

Are there newer "bug-fix" versions with various problems cleared up, like better fans, and non-fryable preamp units if you forget and leave the phantom on when you plug/unplug? I've been seeing some "new" maybe older stock units on eBay. I'm wondering if there are certain revisions to look out for. Thanks

bumpity-bump.

were the issues I'm describing essentially addressed with firmware updates?

Yes and yes. Had an old one from 2010 with a loud fan and the fried preamps due to hot plugging. Now I've got one from 2014 (Rev M) with a very quiet fan and no issues plugging/unplugging mics with phantom power on.

Can't tell you if you need to get a Rev M, though. Maybe those changes have been made in earlier revisions already.

+1 I have a 2014 revision M as well and all is good. Very quiet fan and no pre amp issues.
