The early 200s apparently have a microprocessor flaw which Music Hall will repair if your friend will contact them.
Electrocompaniet EMC1 vs. Shanling T200 Lvl 1 Mod
I am considering these two players and would like advice from anyone who has heard both. I must admit the attraction to the Shanling is mostly appearance, however Chris Johnson of the Parts Connexion is offering an extensive modification to the player that is claimed to be nothing shy of fabulous. Any input greatly appreciated. Thank you.
