Hi.
Anyone know of issues with Meridian CD/DVD transports? I have a 586 DVD
(cranky sled - if its cold wont open or close without issues, makes noise
when its open, and is finicky about what CD's it wants to read) and 508.24
CD which has been repaired once for a malfunctioning sled and now makes
noise and intermittently skips? Meridian is pleased to take my money to
repair them, but I'm curious if this is a known issue with Meridian?

On another note, I plugged in my Parasound 1000 with ADAM module as a backup
and was startled by the difference in bass extension and slam - although it
was much harsher and grainier on the top end with less inner detail.

Of course after hearing what I've been missing with the Meridian's (I use
them as a CD transport only, feeding a Genesis Digital Lens and a Sonic
Frontiers Processor 3), I've decided to look for a Wadia 8 transport - the
best I've heard to date - unless someone has a better suggestion?

Thanks!

Meridian used to use Phillips transports. I don't know if they still do.
