Tristar71 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Anyone know who's flogging the Meridian 588 on TM? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=248982243 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Nope but it caught my eye. I have a 507 and am wondering if it would be worth considering going to the 588. My understanding is the 588 was a development of the 508 and kind of sits halfway between that player and the G08. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig f Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I listened to the 588 vrs my 508.24 in the same system and was left less than impressed. The 508 had a much more organic, flowing, involving sound where the 588 was, to my ears, much more hi-fi. The G08 was a totally different kettle of fish and I traded my 508 on that quite happily. Cheers, Craig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopal Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Never liked the 588 personally. I always felt it was the dog of the range. What you gain in resolution in changing from a 507, you'll lose much more in PRAT and involvement... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Thanks for the comments and I'll stick with the 507 which I absolutely love anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
