Nowt special in there!

…and there was me thinking that it was Brighton rock!

If you give it a good chew. Blueberries, banana, raspberry and liquorice flavours should come through. Willy wonka buzz style.

Always loved the Meridian 200/203 combo, had the pair I bought from new for many years, although a Naim CDI finally took over duties…nice pics, thanks for sharing them!

Trying this out.

My mate had a 206, bought after attending a Meridian evening, given by Bob Stuart, Stanleylands Hotel, Wilmslow, Manchester in 1990.

I think he still has it, but main system is now a pair of 8000 Ruby Anniversary with 800 components.

Never had the 203, my 200 played into a Pink Triangle DAC, with the Pacific’s 24-bit filter. Got 24/48 processing out of it, as well, from a SqueezeBox 3.
Replaced the Squeezebox & DAC with a ND5XS/NP5XS and so began the Naim journey to the NDS/555DR.
