I tried the Rega a dew years back. I own a Meridian and the Rega could not, IMHO, ever be considered anything but a huge step down in quality. That said, I'd not be buying any component unseen and unheard, however good the bargain. Even if the actual component is a fab piece of kit, you cannot know how it will sound with your existing gear. Badly chosen/matched gear, even if every single item is stellar, can result in an audio nightmare.
Meridian 508.24 or CEC TL15XR ??? HELP
Having a difficult time trying to decide.
The meridian (7yo) is being offered at almost double the price of the CEC (1yo).
No chance to demo either one and would like to replace Denon 3910 currently being used as CD source.
In other system, currently using Rega Apollo.
Saw a thread somewhere which a person 'upgraded' from the Meridian to the Rega, which is very disappointing to read because I never considered the Apollo to be THAT good.
Any advise???
