I was just at a dealer in LA that had some of the most beautiful MBL gear on trade and he said it was virtually worthless.

The highest build quality I have ever seen on a component.

It was a PRE ...about a foot tall

A transport

A DAC

No amps though..

It is going to take some time for the used MBL market to recover. Some legal issues between 2 "authorized" distributers in the US and MBL Germany had product being dumped on the market at crazy prices. If you look in the print media and in some online forums you will see competing claims about being the US distributer. If you go with either MBL's Reference or Noble lines the gear is so large you must have a large room.
