Meridian Audio 507 CD Player Note, the laser is starting to fail (skipping while playing etc even after laser cleaning) so I have dropped the price to sell as a project. I'm downsizing so putting my preamp, power amp, CD player, and surround speakers up for sale. The Meridian 507 is an early upsampling unit from the respected digital company. I have owned this since new (July-02) and have original packaging, manuals, and system remote, but no longer have the original receipt. The player has digital out (optical and coax) so would also make a great transport. Condition: Fair Payment Method: P
At A$400, this looks like a fair ask for a Meridian 507, assuming it’s fully working and cosmetically tidy. For a well-made Meridian CD player, that sits in the sensible middle of the used market rather than feeling like a bargain or an overreach; I’d treat it as buyable if the seller can show clean operation, good disc reading, and stable playback.
The appeal here is classic Meridian: smooth, refined Red Book CD playback with the sort of easy musical flow that still wins over serious listeners. A clean example can be a very satisfying one-box source, especially if it comes with the remote and original packaging. The main buyer checks are age-related, so confirm it loads discs quickly, doesn’t mistrack, and hasn’t got display or transport issues.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Meridian Audio traces its roots to 1977, when British innovators Allen Boothroyd, an industrial designer, and Bob Stuart, an engineer, founded the company in Cambridgeshire, England. From the outset, Meridian—initially known as Meridian Sound System Company—targeted high-end audio, launching with the M1 active loudspeakers, among the first designed specifically for domestic listening rather than professional use. This heritage of British engineering excellence has defined the brand, with all products researched, designed, and engineered in Great Britain, earning over 350 industry awards and placements in prestigious collections like the Victoria and Albert Museum and MoMA.
The company's product focus centers on cutting-edge digital audio solutions, particularly DSP (digital signal processing) loudspeakers with integrated amplification, including groundbreaking active designs like the world-first D600 digital loudspeaker in 1989 and high-resolution active systems from the 1990s. Meridian excels in premium home audio and video entertainment systems, encompassing amplifiers, digital speakers, and in-wall options for custom installations. Its expertise extends to bespoke automotive sound systems, partnering with luxury marques like Land Rover, Jaguar, and McLaren to deliver immersive 3D surround audio tailored to vehicle acoustics.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Meridian commands respect among discerning audiophiles and custom integrators worldwide, sold in over 80 countries through specialists. Renowned for pioneering digital audio advancements and superior fidelity, it sets benchmarks in both residential and in-car luxury audio, blending innovation with craftsmanship for those seeking uncompromised performance.
