Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Restaurant at the End of Universe Hitchhikers - Meridian Equipment FS 200 series units. PRICES NOW REDUCED

I have for sale the following 200 series items, all in full working order, some cosmetic faults as detailed, no original packaging : prices all reduced on 17.02.09
201 preamp + 209 system remote ---- now �150(was �200)
204 tuner ( Mk1), works fine but backup battery dead, I can get this done, so as it is -----now �100, or with new battery fitted ---- �115,
207 2 box cd / preamp ( Mk2 16 bit) ----- now �185.(was �225) Some lettering faults on DAC/ pre box, plus minor abrasions on case.
�400 for all items.
I would prefer to deliver the CD player or have it collected as I understand these won't tolerate shocks without possible detriment! As it works fine now I don't want to spoil that! Will pack if I have to though ( got some airbags!)
All items would be plus postage.
I bought these items all as a lot to get something I wanted,( the 205 monoblocs, not for sale!) have cleaned them up and had them all on test for a month with no problems. CD player has played on repeat for 10 hour periods without problems.
Prices reflect slight cosmetic marks and no orginal packaging.
Manual available for 204 and 201 on CD or as PDF file.
Be quick!

Hi George, following the sending of serial nos do you wish to continue with this thread? Or anyone else out there interested? Please don't make me go for a swim in the Bay, there are sharks!

Hi Jerry,
thanks for the info on the units, i'm still trying to figure out what would be best, i'm considering a second system but trying to work out how the multiroom would work with the 500 series main system.
I think the 207 is the earliest 200 series CD player Meridian did?

Mr Perceptive

Many thanks Mr Perceptive. Grog, my 207 has yellow buttons, is therefore the Mk2 16 bit. Anyway sounded great through the 205 monoblocs and into my Leema Xen monitors, smooth and detailed. The old ones are the best maybe! You're welcome to a dem, as is anyone else.
JerryG

Just to add in here, if Grog wants some 205 monblocks as well, I am probably going to put a pair on the market next week, so between JerryG and myself you could have a full 200 system.

Mr Perceptive

hmm, tempting, probably overkill for a 2nd/3rd system,
how much would you want for the 205's?

Grog

I've PM'd you, as I don't think we should continue this conversation JerryG's thread

Mr Perceptive

Mr Perceptive : Hi, I don't have a problem you joining in with this thread if you want to!
Also I'm probably preaching to the converted, but there's a good review of the 207 and other bits I have in Duncan Rolfe's Meridian Info at bottom of this page, click 200 series : 207 CD / pre : review. Apparently it's a Phillips 16 bit 4X oversampling chip.

OK, if anyone wants to make a complete 200 series system, I can throw in a pair of 205 monoblocks into the ring, looking for �300 plus shipping
