I am in touch with MD (Jim Richards specifically) and am considering a move to a MD102 (certified used) or the more recent MD105, which replaced the 102. Both, says Mr. Richards, are a little more sensitive than my MD90, so they may be able to pull in a few more stations. There is also the MD90SE, but he made no such statement about it being better than my MD90 at pulling in stations. It should perhaps sound a bit better, at least.
I think I'd like a 102 (if available). But I know the 105, MD's top solid-state tuner, would be a sweet spot; I'd never feel as if I needed to go further. Not that I'll have the money for such things later on.
