I have a 506.24. The guy who sold it to me, a dealer said that it sounded better than the 508.20 and almost as good as the 508.24. I know I was probably stupid to take this advice, but I didn't want to hear that I should spend 2000.00 more than I was already spending. Recently I had a chance to head to head the 506.24 and the 508.24 at a nearby Hi Fi shop. I was absolutely boweled over by how much better the 508.24 was. I mean it went from sounding like something was wrong to everything is right. I have been happy with my 506.24, but after hearing the diffrence between the two I am very sorry that I didn't get the 508.24. I have heard that the diffrences between the 508.20 and 508.24 are big. I think there is a review of the 508.20 to 508.24 upgrade on planethifi.com in the archives section

Any comments on the Meridian 508.24 CD Player. I own the Meridian 508.20 and am not convinced the 508.24 is that much better for the extra money required. The 508.24 sells for $4K but discounts are possible. My 508.20 is connected to the Rolland Concentra to the ProAc 2.5 speakers.
