The precursors to a couple of decade's worth of beautiful Meridian equipment. This is even more striking, though a little more fragile. When on song they are lovely preamps, and the phono stage is more than up to the job for an Ortofon Black MM, for instance...
They will hang on the wall. We have 4. They are all a little different: all AC1s show how they have lived, and been polished. The insides can be a little challenging (reed switches and FETs) but we can keep them going too. Partner with AP1 / AP3, Mitchell Syncro / Ariston RD40, Gale GS401s or even some JR149s and you have system that looks stunning and has no bottlenecks to a gentle (if you went for the 149s!) but detailed hi fi that you could live with for decades... warm, even, if you want warm!
They go naturally with a lecson AP1/AP3, which are listed separately.
