Tom: thank you for the info regarding my CS2.4 pair. They're able to finely resolve anything I throw at them. Please keep all of us in the loop as you proceed ... an upgrade is intriguing.

Thank You for citing your Serial Numbers(S/N). No- there is not a SA-10 in my area of the Southeast U.S. Not to my knowledge anyway. Yes, the Chicago-land area traditionally has one in the showroom. Wisconsin dealer/retailers do as well. A Bryston BCD-3 will be easier to score demo time.Keep me posted and have fun!

Happy Listening!

Are you keeping the Meridian? Is this company offering any upgrades for the player in your system?
Happy Listening!

The 508.24 ?
Happy Listening!

jafant: I will keep the Meridian but haven't looked into an upgrade. Meridian no longer makes single-box CD players, only an "Ultra DAC" which costs 23k. The 508.24 is a great machine, well worth what I paid for it ($3495) in 1998, but it's almost 24 years old now, and the laser and transport will not last forever. I'll keep you posted on what I end up buying, but the Bryston BCD-3 is the front-runner.
