Hello,

Its been a while since I have owned some Meridian equipment and I was tempted back by some DSP5500 MK2 speakers that are currently plugged into my iMac via a Trends UD10 and I'm having a lot of fun listening to them.

I forgot how good the Meridian unplugged forums are and how helpful people can be.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to Steve Eyles & Carl for answering several questions and helping me make the right choices.

My current project is to build my own music server with out using a computer / mac by getting a Netgear MS2000 NAS to run Debian OS with MPD and a front end GUI to be controlled by an iPad / iTouch. Why would you do that I hear you ask ... well for a cost of about �160 for a 1 TB mirrored raid with out the iPad fits my pocket. I will hopefully get this working in several weeks and will let you know if I have been successful. I may get a musical fidelity Vlink USB to Coax to play around with as well but the trend UD10 is fine atm.

But for now I'm going to listen to music for the rest of the day smile
