Meridian vs. Audio Research CD Players


I currently have a Meridian 506 and want to upgrade to either another Meridian 588, G07-8 OR Audio Research CD3.

Has anyone had the opportunity to hear these units? I know both are good but it's hard to select one over the other and I am not sure if I should stay with Meridian or move to AR.

My components: Conrad Johnson Premier 14, Dynaudio Speakers, Macintosh 7270 Amp

Hi i have owned 5 different models of Meridian i now own an Electrocompaniet EMC-1up it is a very good match with my Acoustats 1+1s a detail cd player with very forgiven speakers great match i agree 100% with Davemitchell except that i prefer a laid back sound because i listend for very long periods and you cannot do this with an aggressive sound it's simply a question of choice & match i would go with Meridian.
