I've recently moved across from Linn to Meridian. I became disatisfied with the Karik/Numerik cdp/DAC combo in my Kaber active system. The search for a replacement led me to Meridian via all the new Linn stuff. A side by side demo of a G08/5200 system vs the new Linn Majik set up sealed it for me. As far as reliability is concerned, my Linn equipment had very few problems, and when it did it was usually sorted out, though not always very quickly. I haven't had the Meridian long enough to comment on its reliability, but it seems to be very good in this area.

Even the LP12/Ekos/Klyde has now gone, replaced by a more cost effective, but equally satisfying alternative - Gyro SE/RB300/DL160.

I enjoyed my time with Linn, but I'm enjoying the Meridian much, much more!
