So 00 revision definitely has a big advantage over 01 here.
You totally changed my mind. MT-32 revision 00 is superior! 😉
Seriously thought, the difference between the two is very minor. I happen to have one of each. I'm just trying to figure out which one to keep and which one to sell. I'm going to upgrade the firmware on the rev 00 to 1.07 and replace the electrolytic capacitors in both. Then put one up for sale.
