I'm finding it fascinating to see the direction Meridian is taking with it's new products - even if I'm not in the market for any of them at the moment.

I suppose I'm particularly intrigued by the feature decisions made, which various of us might disagree with, whenever a new product comes out. Why not do digital in, why not have a Sooloos end point etc. etc.? Understanding why certain decisions were made is really useful and I'm glad to see the Mothership taking time to discuss with us at HH. anyone involved in product design will appreciate the compromises which always have to be made (in my experience).

I'm not going to be in the market for a headphone amp any time soon but an analogue pre-amp for my M3s might just be interesting.

I must admit I find the Prime Power Supply a very interesting product - why 5 outputs? I'm guessing the space was there and the extra cost small so why not... and my optimism hopes there's a whole range of prime products coming which could be powered by it...

1) Someone has already mentioned the MC/MM pre-amp;
2) How about an Prime MS400 ... something like MS600 in Prime case, perhaps with just analog output;
3) Some mono-block amplifiers... (probably not powered by power supply);
4) Analogue switch box, say 4 or 5 inputs and one/two output, for those audiophiles with more than 1 analogue source;
5) A clock/radio (while we wait for M80 replacement or maybe instead)
6) etc. etc...

I'm sure the small form factor will score very highly on the WAF scale and a full range of quality but lower cost Meridian products can only enhance the brand awareness.

Keep up the good work
