Hello all,

My 588 works fine, but only if it has been powered off (using the back panel switch) or disconnected from the mains for a few hours.

When I turn it on, it works and sounds fine for one hour or so but then it stops recognizing any CDs.

I took it to the official Meridian Service and they say that the PSU needs to be replaced for a total cost of 600 euros. They say it can't be repaired due to Meridian policies.

I am being a little suspicious or does 600 euros seem bit too much for a switching PSU?

Does anybody have any experience/information about the voltage and current requirements of the 588?

If it cannot be repaired, I could build a good shunt regulated PSU or even fit a top-notch switching unit.

Thanks in advance.
