This Meridian Signature Reference 808.2 CD Player was received by us as a part exchange from a longstanding customer of ours. It is in excellent condition and only has a few minor marks and cosmetic scratches (see photos for more). The previous customer has included FOC a brand new spare laser mechanism in the box should its new owner ever need to change it!It comes in its original box with remote control, power cable and manual. Here is a brief description from the original customer Once hailed as “the world’s best CD player” I never completely took to it, although I adored the Meridian 508.24 I’d owned previously. I always thought it was far too big, I didn’t really like the design, I hated the plasticky CD tray and I immediately regretted not having bought the 808i version, which had separate pre-amp controls and would have allowed me to input digital and use the unit as a separate DAC. It does sound good, though - very good indeed - and somebody with a large legacy library of CDs will want it. It was factory upgraded by Meridian to the v.2 version (paperwork’s in the box) and a new purchaser can take comfort from the brand new spare laser mechanism I’ve also put into the box. The supplier of the laser also provides a fitting service if it’s ever needed (paperwork in the laser box). This was bought by me as a future-proofing precaution but it’s never been needed. I was in two minds whether to sell this player all along, but I need to move on If you have any questions please contact us!
