A favourite among Meridian enthusiasts, the 201 cames in a handy compact package with remote capabilites.
Like other 200-series units, it was designed to be left connected to the mains and goes into a Stand-by mode when turn off via the 209 (aka the flat brick of a remote which eats 9V batteries for breakfast!).
The 201 is a nice, natural sweet sounding pre-amp which can be matched with a variety of non-Meridian equipment.
Only had the PSU section recapped since it has seen many years of service.
When they do appear on the resale market, normally goes pretty fast.

Hi there, great blog, some interesting pieces.
ReplyDeleteI've just acquired a 201 mk1 pre amp, and was wondering if and/or what servicing you think it would need, and if you know anybody in the uk who can do it?
Thanks
Apologies as I am not familiar with such services in the UK.
ReplyDeleteYou can try contacting Meridian themselves for advice.
Came across this thread looking for repair help for my 201, is there a repair shop/forum member in the U.S. you'd recommend? Mu unit does not exit standby when powered on.
ReplyDeleteSorry am in South East Asia.
DeleteAny US reader(s) can help?
Would be good if you can give an idea to the other visitors of your locale as the US is a pretty big place.
