But the quality of stuff that went into the deck and it's 24-bit DACs were just superb.I saw one or two MB100s put up for sale on local ICE forums a while back ... going for about RM 550.00-650.00 depending on condition. Hardly the true value of that deck if you ask me. So yeah, perhaps I shud get mine fixed and use it at home. Gotta do a conversion to run it off the main AC/power supply instead of 12V power.Now, a personal question - were you a regular then on the old M'sian IASCA forum under another nick ? I'm sensing some similarities between you and someone else from that forum who also owned a MB100. PM me la and we'll talk further ...P/S - Yoke, I think there's a lot of other decks that he can look at around the RM1.5K range from Eclipse, Pioneer and etc. The 8061 is a great SQ deck but in terms of real value for money, IMHO it does not do too well being a bare-bone deck when it's other less known siblings like the CD8053 and CD8454/8443 were better all rounders. The copper chassis and ability to run 16V balanced signal are good but in many ways, it was an over-rated deck compared to similar products from other makes. Just my 2 cents of thoughts ... no offence, yeah!Cheers,</blockquote>
