I agree with Thorman and have owned a 508.24 since 1997, great warm round player. Also I auditioned extensively a new Parasound D3 player and must say I was very impressed with its warmth and dynamic range. The highs were spectacular and detailed without any fatigue whatsoever. Head to head with the Meridian it wasn't quite as extended in the lows but I believe this will improve with time/breakin. But the high end was something to behold; I had no idea that CDs could sound that good. Plus this player also plays SACD and DVD Audio.
looking for good detailed and warm player
Hi all,
I'm in "UPGRADE" season :)
RIght now im running Sonus Faber Extrema with Meridian 557 and PRE 502(also Meridian).
The PRE and Power hooked by XLR (both Balanced).
My previous CD was Arcam (A9) but I felt my sys needs more.
The meridian 557 has a great power , and there's great details from the PRE but somehow some warm and more "round" sound is missing,I also thought about change the PRE to some nice tube PRE like Audio Research (LS17 or SO16),
but I'd like to start from the source.
any idea?
Thanks in advance
