The EII sounds better, because it has analog filters. The Emax II doesn't.

Yes, it can.

Buy it. NOW!

That machine's pure fun. And even servicing it and bringing it back to life is adventurous and fun. Don't hesitate!!! The price is ridiculously low. Don't worry too much about the disk drive n stuff. That can be done..
