Meridian 508.24 CD plyer. Is it really that good?

I offered a variations of this thread before. about pro/cons of buying older CD players of major manaufacturers. like ARC, Krell, McCormack The player in question is the Meridian 508.24 player. I have read several positive testimonials about this unit's resolution, clarity and musicality. Nice!! BUT.... the down side is,.... there are no longer major parts available for it. Therefore, I need input on whether this player is as good as many members claim, that is how does a player with second generation technology possibly outperform current players, or players of the last 5 years. Need feedback ASAP...... Thanks, Jim

Hi Jim:

Sorry, I do not have any experience with the Meridian. I have always been skeptical about spending serious money on older CD players.

This may make it easier. If in this situation, you were to replace CD player with the name of something else, say water heater or motorcycle, and major parts were not available would you be thinking twice?
