The Meridian has the best bass I've ever heard from a cdp. I think the Scout was somewhat hampered by a mediocre phono stage thus far. Soundstage of the Scout is incredible/ jury is still out on tone. Probably more a function of cartridge and stage than of the TT itself anyway.

it seems really strange to get better bass from a CDP than a great TT.

congradts on snapping the needle, now that is one nasty thing to happen!!

I will be waiting for your impressions, though it seems hard for me to believe that a digital combo beats a similarly priced analog system.
