Beautiful 24-bit CD player, looks like new...I am the second owner, which is the only reason for the 8/10 rating.  Please see photos for the excellent condition - and operationally it's just as great.  Despite the advances in computing power of newer DAC's, this player has some of the best sound for Redbook CD playback you'll hear - Bob Stuart of Meridian know what he was doing.

This player was originally a 508.20 model, as you can see on the faceplate.  I purchased it from the original owner in September, 1997.  When the 24-bit model and upgrade became available, I sent the unit in to Meridian for the 24-bit upgrade in February, 1998 (note that they do not replace the faceplate with the upgrade, thus the reason it still says "20-bit").  Included in the photos is the Original Invoice for this upgrade - please take a look.  I then used this player in my main system until 2002, then in a very rarely used secondary system until 2005.  It's been stored in my closet it's original box since 2005.  I powered it up and gave it a listen when I was taking the photos for this listing - I love the sound of the Meridian players and had to box it back up before I changed my mind about selling.  When I compare the sound quality of Redbook CD playback from this player with my current digital front end (which by the way cost multiples of what this player cost new and upgraded), I have to admit that there are many things I like about this player better than my current setup.  My loss, your gain.

The Meridian System Remote is included with this player.  This large remote will control an entire Meridian system, or just the CD player, whichever your need may be (9V battery not included in remote). 

This will come with the original double-crate, original packing materials, Meridian System Remote, original power cord, Meridian System Remote Manual, 508 User Guide, and the original paperwork for the 24-bit upgrade.  As you can see in the photos, this unit is every bit as perfect as it was when new.  It will playback your Redbook CD collection beautifully.

Buyer pays any PayPal fees and actual cost of shipping.  Thank you.
