Anyone hear of the Krell MD-20 transport?


I just put a deposit down on this transport, but can't seem to find any information whatsoever on it. I did several Web searches with different search engines, looked on Krells & Stereophiles web sites, even looked here to see that the value of it might be, but it is absent. Does anyone know anything about this transport? Why is there no information on it? Is it any good? How does it compete with using a modern universal player as a CD transport?

Thanks much

Thanks... I didn't know that.

I still find it a little strange that I can hardly find any information on this unit (MD-20 transport). I would love to hear from anyone else who has any knowledge or experience with this unit.

Thanks!
Richard is right,Philips stopped production.I found a spare CD Mechanism (CDM-3) for sale (450$USD) out of Japan a while ago.Before I send the money I called Krell for their opinion.There is no way of knowing if that spare was functioning or NOT.
I just had to believe whatever the seller told me.It was without box-instructions e.t.c.Krell said that they would have to check the mechanism for integrity.I decided not to buy that spare.My transport is mint right now with few hours I will deal with problems if and when arise.A local High-end retailer told me that cd transports have about 7-10 years of life expectancy.I think of it like having a nice car and all of a sudden you go and buy a spare engine block just in case you need for replacement.Kind of silly.
Smeyers. Enjoy your new transport,it will be superior than your Denon IMHO,Did you buy the one from Larry at High-End Palace ???I am in the middle of getting a Northstar 192 right now that is using the current Philips CD-PRO2 Mechanism.

I own an old MD1 transport, with an SBP 32X. Is this transport also doomed? This combo sounds great with my atma-sphere pro-ac gear .

Thanks Yioryos
My main gig is phono, but since buying the Krell combo used a few years ago, I've been very happy. Question, Is it worth updating the 32x to a 64x , or will Krell do such an update to an older unit? Is it possable to get resolution close to analoge?
Thanks Mike
