We didn’t talk technical with Meridian on the day but essentially the 218 will do all an MS200 does and more. Those 5200’s with the sub sounded sublime even though placement and set up wasn’t optimal. Thanks Tom.

When comparing the tape to the MQA version of a song it was noted by Nick, that you couldn’t hear any tape hiss with MQA. This, I reason, is because you're listening to the sound of the studio as it is recorded, and not the recording committed to tape.

The idea of being able to add some hiss to taste was suggested...
