While you could connect a GT64 or CTM640 to a Plus, you'd also get no sound, as the speaker was moved from the base unit, to the monitor. The Pluses should really have their own, separate monitor options.
No.21152 ICEknight Tester Mar 8, 2023, 02:25	You can still connect some amplifiers to the Plus' headphone jack, same as you can do when connecting other systems like the Spectrum +2A and a +3 (which, by the way, look amazing on a CTM644). I guess that the ideal scenario would be to give all systems access to any device with compatible connectors (Vas is doing a great job with the controllers in this regard), and assign to each monitor device their respective features, such as the green/amber tint, adjustment knobs, additional displays, etc, instead of having them depend on the system's driver.
