Since my first JoMoX box was a beige (cream) Mbase01, I'm a bit biased.

As far as I know, and according to Juergen, they are identical in circuitry and
functionality, but the cream-colored ones were made in
Germany while the black ones were ASSEMBLED in the far east.

He says the black ones sound better, but I've never done a side by side
comparison.

I like the cream color b/c EVERYTHING in electronic music over the past 2
decades (with a few exceptions) has been black, plus it matches my beige music
computer, a 9600 PowerMac.

As for Chinese pigskin, I've never taken it apart. Maybe that would be a good
YouTube video, but Juergen would whip me if he had to fix it. Maybe there's beer
brat and sauerkraut inside?

Here are some videos where you can hear the beige Mbase01 in action.
