ALL NEW MRC 16bit sound decoders

[Santa Fe all the way!]

Yah, I thought that too. I just found and read a review of their 16 bit Genset decoder, not good, seems they may not have 'woke up' Hoping their 16 bit 567 decoder is better.

I find it rather curious they don't have any sound bites to listen to on their web site.

Wow, what a lackluster response.Can someone who has actually heard one of these post a response? I know MRC is a 4 letter word on this forum,but it sounds like they may have 'woke up and smelt the coffee'. I have 4 Athearn Genesis F units + a Proto 1000 RS-2 that could use these, if there as good as a tsunami for $41.xx ea. instead of $80 + a speaker. I wish I could find a sound sample or a review online somewhere.

Unless they are getting them from a different factory in China that will actually do some quality control testing they will still be extremely unreliable.

 Wonder if they will keep track of what sounds the record this time, so rather than syaing they have 32 horn sounds, they can tell you WHAT horn sounds they have.

Well I guess MRC finally got tired of losing all the DCC sound business to Soundtraxx, so they've scrapped there old lineup, and are comming out with an entirely new line of 16 bit sound decoders. Supposedly they recorded all new sounds. They come with a speaker,8 or 9 pin plug and retail for Half what a Tsunami does. Sounds are supposed to be great, could be very exciting, we'll see.
