Music in the Round #43 Recordings In The Round

The debate over which audio component is most important in determining the quality of a system's sound is one that has been with us for decades.

Meridian 207 Pro CD player Review System

Meridian 207 Pro CD player Review System

In a way, you could say that Meridian started the now epidemic practice of modifying stock CD players (usually of the Philips-Magnavox species). The original Meridian player, the MCD, was a reworking of the first-generation Philips and was <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/cdplayers/285meridian">praised by J. Gordon Holt</A> in these pages in his 1985 review (Vol.8 No.2). The Meridian Pro (Vol.8 No.6) won similar plaudits, and is still to be seen lurking in JA's system. And the original 207 was well-received by MC in Vol.10 No.3.
