For $1000 I would buy the new Pioneer Elite Universal Player. I haven’t heard it but it has gotten excellent reviews for both audio and video and I am thinking of adding it to one of my Home Theater Systems. For 2 channel it has analog outputs to connect to your preamp. I am not a fan of used disc spinners because as has been previously noted, the laser life may be limited. I’ve seen a few complaints regarding Meridian not supporting older “legacy” disc spinners.
Meridian 800 DVD/CD Version 4
Looking for some advise. I am in the midst of constructing a new office / listening room in my house (Walkout basement). It has been a while since I sold my last house and most of my equipment. The last cd player I have was the Cary 306 SACD. It was the best cd player I have owned but sold it years ago.
So now as I rebuild my system I will be buying a new cd player and a turntable. I am looking at the Small Audio Manufacture (SAM) turntables for under $2K. But my reason for this post is the Meridian 800 DVD / CD, Version 4.
I am able to acquire one for about $1,000.00 and was wondering if this represents good value or is there something else in this price range that would be better. I mostly listen to jazz, old R&B, and some classical music. This setup is strictly a 2-channel only set up and no subwoofer. The room is 12 x 20 with 8 ft ceilings.
I have a pretty good integrated amp (300 / 600 watts a channel) with newly acquired Canton 3 DC Reference speakers I purchased new. Pervious speakers were Salk HT3 but I really like the sound of the Cantons.
Thank you in advance for any information. I know there are several posts concerning the Meridian 808 but how does the 800 compared to those units.
Thanks.
