I’m a great fan of the Farad PSU’s into both 210 and 218.
I do run Alpha V2 NR into the Farad/210
I do run Shunyata Omega as the best SpeakerLink cable money can buy IMHO.
I do run Uptone Etherregen with Shunyata Sigma CGS ground cable and external OCXO clock with 75Ohm Alpha clock V2 BNC.

But there is one important thing Richard Hollinshead did before he departed Meridian. He produced the first separate clock card for the 800 series. So where is it? In the Ultra DAC!
This is the best streamer Meridian have ever produced because it could have an OCXO ultra stable clock on that 800-series card. I’d love to see that card some day in other 800-series products!

Meridian could possibly put that separate clock card into both 818 and 861 and have the next über version of them. And it would be an improvement we can hear clearly and appreciate.

Still love this Special Edition DSP Digital Active Loudspeakers video with him.
