| Is it a good idea to buy CD players over 10 years old even it is a reliable brand? Yes it's a great idea. I just purchased a used Meridian 800 DVD/CD player for $1k. Some on this forum recommended I purchase a new player or a cheaper player with a DAC. That was not what I was looking for. The Meridian 800 is a phenomenal CD play... | |
| Meridian 800 DVD/CD Version 4 After living with the Meridian 800 DVD/CD for almost a month I can say this is one of the best CD player out there and for $1k it is an absolutely steal. I just can't see paying much more for a cd player.The only other player I loved was the Cary ... | |

| New Speaker Conundrum - Vandy's, Spendors, Salk, Ascend - Mainstream or ID I can definitely recommend the Salks. I had the Salk HT3 for about 5 years and thought they were the best speakers I have owned especially if you like the ribbon tweeters. Just a sweet sounding speaker. Obviously the SS8 are in a different league ... | |

You can check them out at the below link. https://www.... | |
| Meridian 800 DVD/CD Version 4 Thank you. For the $1k (shipped) I paid for the V4 I felt this was a no brainer. I know that some people have recommended a new player or a DAC I just don't know if that was the sound I was looking for.My best CD player owned was the Cary 306 SACD... | |
| BEST UPGRADE regardless of cost? The best upgrade for me has always been the speakers first and foremost. The room and the source are a close second. But the most dramatic for me has always been the speakers. | |

| CANTON Vento Reference 3 DC vs. the 3.2 Model Thank you. I did purchase the 3 DC for $3500 shipped. I had them for the last 2 weeks and they offer phonemail value. Even though their original price was $16K, then marked down $10K, I decided to take a chance not hearing them before.My last pair... | |
| $30K DAC in a $70K system - wise or ridiculous? Just to follow up. I looked up your speakers, nice. If it was me I spent the money on a upgrading to a pair of speakers where I don't need any subs, upgrade my CD player, a good DAC and add some vinyl - turntable / preamp for that $30k.I thinking ... | |
| $30K DAC in a $70K system - wise or ridiculous? I first put my money into my speakers and build from there. Second are my amps and then my source. $30k for a DAC IMO is a little overkill but like all audio it is a personal decision. Now if I could get a $30k DAC for under $10K used that's a dif... |
