Meridian DSP7200 Speakers
default -- Tue, 07/14/2009 - 14:57
I am interested in the DSP7200 Speakers as reviewed by Sue Kraft in TAS. I have a Meridian 808 Reference CD player and a Aesthetix Rhea Phono stage to hook up to the speakers. The 808 is probably straight forward, but I am concerned as to hooking up the Rhea. I would like to use the Rhea's balanced output. Has anyone hooked up a phono stage to the DSP7200?

Problem is the DSP7200 does not accept analog inputs. If you have the 808i with built in analog preamp, no problems - hook the Rhea to the CD player and use it as preamp. If not... you might want to look at something like the Benchmark ADC1. Or speak to Meridian about this direct, as they may have a useful route that I'm not aware of (like a digital preamp in the G series or the add-on card for the 808).
