Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Restaurant at the End of Universe Hitchhikers - Meridian Equipment FOC: Sooloos kit

I've gone entirely Roon but still have a bit of legacy Sooloos kit lying around. I'd like to offer it FoC to any HHers who genuinely wants to use it rather than sticking them on eBay. Collection only from London SW11.

There is a Control:15, Control:10 (fairly sure both these are running SSDs and have power supplies but need to check this) and a Control:One. Storage I have a TwinStore, which I believe can accommodate up to 4TB drives. There's also a Source:Five which presumably could act as a digital Roon endpoint but I'm not sure whether the analogue outputs would integrate with a Roon system.

I'll need to dig it out to check it all still works for anyone interested but there's no reason I can think of that it doesn't. swpnt looked at upgrading the C15 to run Roon a while ago but that ship has passed with the changes in Roon's software. He had slight concerns about the screen but never look a gift horse in the mouth.

PM me if you have any interest. I'll try and check in a little more frequently over the next week or so to see if there are any interested parties.

FYI there is one conversation going on. I will post here any updates.

The C15, C10 and C1 have been taken.

I could not get the TwinStore to fire up properly, it gets an IP address from the network and when I stuck in a couple of drives it started beeping, and kept on beeping, and kept on beeping, etc etc ad nauseum.

The SourceFive light comes on but no sign of it getting an IP address even though the network switch light was flashing.

Unless anyone would like the housings or parts for a project they will be consigned to the local dump.

I could probably reuse the casework for one of my ongoing projects, if it saves it from landfill or recycling..

I think they have pretty much the same bodywork having replaced the CMOS batteries. SourceFive and TwinStore. SourceFive will come with OEM power supply where I believe the internal wiring was changed to accept different pinout.

Let me know, will be landfill otherwise. Postage cost only.

I've replied to your PM, grog.

I've also just found another C10 lying at the bottom of a pile of stuff I'm trying to clear out. It boots and the screen looks OK. I need to change the CMOS battery internally to be happy it boots again reliably and test the unit can act as a core in its own right. This will be Tuesday.

There is also probably la pièce de résistance of all my unused Meridian kit. A wall hanging backlit (in a fetching blue) Meridian Audio advertising sign. No Hitchhiker's listening room should be without one.

Sorry, got distracted.

The C10 as far as I can tell works fine. New CMOS battery and network gets IP address perfectly.

No box so either pick up or I'll need it box it up really, really well.

Free of Charge (exc postage) to anyone who would like it.

Again, I don't imagine you would do, but the whole point of this is to see the kit used, not dumped straight onto eBay.

The C10 is reserved.
