Elektron Musical Instruments

Hello... a few weeks back, I noticed a discussion concerning the 
noise floor on the MD... I am close to being able to buy one, but 
am somewhat dismayed by these discussions......Some people 
were saying that it was unacceptably noisy, others said it was no 
big deal.....At the md's price, I cannot afford something 
unrecordably noisy, and I am fairly sensitive to such things. Any 
further takes on this problem? Anyone know if Elektron is aware 
of this, and if so, are they rectifying the problem??
  Thanks, Jeremy
