I just ordered the MD-DR7 from <http://www.audiocubes.com/>Audiocubes -
their price was the lowest I found - $239 USD, plus $19 shipping. This is a
Japanese unit, but I couldn't wait to see how their "1-bit" amplifier stage
and the record buffer worked. I'll review for the group as soon as I
receive the unit. Does anyone else have hands-on experience with this model?
