I upgraded from that model Meridian to a new McIntosh CD player and I think the 20 year old Meridian sounded better. But since it is impossible to a/b everything I think the new discounted Sony is a safe buy
Buying an old Wadia or Meridiean CD player
Hello,
I've got about $1,500 to spend on a new CD player. At the moment I'm using an Ah!Njoe Tjoeb 4000 fully optioned. I've been considering a used Wadia 830 or Meridian 508.24. Both are a decade old and I'm wondering whether this makes sense. Am I likely to hear an improvement over my current player? Should I go for a current CD player and, if so, which one.
All advice appreciated.
Mike
