at the moment. The "S" model was a followup fix for the problem that the unit could close without the disc seated properly. If that happened with the MB2, there was a fine chance that the disc would become lodged inbetween the stacking/elevator system levels and jam the entire machine. Hence, the later "S" version, standing for "shaker", which added a quirky shimmy (When the drawer began to close, a quick reversing of motor tray to jolt the disc slightly, followed by reversing yet again to close fully). If you're careful about absolutely every loaded disc, you'll have no problems. But if in the course of time you misplace one, that might be the end of it - unless you dig inside or get service call. Mine also had a plastic gear replaced years ago. Also note that many of the remote control functions are not on the front controls of the player. If you cannot secure the remote, many functions will be lost to you.I would not look to these older units to provide nearly the sound quality of single disc players of today. But, if well taken care of, the Nak does make a nice multi-player. I've had it in my main rig and it's not embarrassed itself performance-wise. The Nak was a pretty high performance unit in its day, and is still decent sounding.
