  I got mine fairly recently (a month and a half or so) and I can 
hear radio frequencies when I shut it off.

  Regardless, I did manage to remedy most of the noise problem by 
very carefully setting up the gains and amplification throughout my 
system.  There's still some noise, but it's manageable.  Elektron 
recommended trying a DI, but I haven't had a chance to plug mine into 
the MD yet...
