Wow, I can't believe this thread is still alive. I just picked up an absolute mint MB-1s with remote for $50 locally. I was shocked at how good it sounds, I just thought, "Well, that's another neat piece of Nak gear for occasional use, that has a small enough footprint and no huge tray like my Denon changer, but it sounds much better than the Denon. And it does the little "shake in and out before load" motion, which I thought was a potential problem, glad I ran into this thread! Works perfect, though the display seems a little dim, not sure if that's how bright it is supposed to be or not. Anyone?
