I'm in the market for a new CD player and I've been reading the posts on this board and elsewhere as to the performance of Meridian's G08 and 588.As my nearest Meridian dealer is quite far away, I wonder what you folks might think of the prospect of purchasing the G08 at $4400 or a (I've been told by a dealer) lightly used 588 at $2200.
In your opinion, is the G08 worth the extra cash? Is the 588 at $2200 a good deal?
By the way, I've heard (from the same dealer) that the list price of the G08 has recetly been raised to $4400. (Actually, I was told that Meridian raised its list prices by 10% across the board, due the the ever-sagging value of the Dollar.)
Follow Ups:
Is it worth an extra $2,200 to you? It would be to me, but I tend to fixate once I hear a clear difference in products. I'd also try very hard to get the dealer to knock 10% off that $4,400.
Seems an awfully high price of admission.. Imagine how many live shows one could attend for that.

Having heard both machines I'm confident that the G08 is better but certainly not $2200 better. I'd be tempted to get the 588 and a whole lot of music.Cheers,
