Another exchange with Jim Richards. They have a MD102 with silver faceplate available. I'd prefer a black one, but since they don't have it, I'll have to get used to silver. If I can picture that in my setup, that's the way I'd go. Otherwise, it's the MD90SE or MD105. The 90SE's audio section can be upgraded to 105 status, but I'm not sure my original purpose (a more sensititve tuner) is served by the 90SE. The certified used 102 is the less expensive option over a new 105; let me think . . .
