Bye 2nd TLC-1, hello Meridian 518

Yesterday I bought a factory refurbished meridian 518 digital audio processor off ebay from Meridian America with a 1 year warranty for $481 + $22 for shipping and insurance. Price isn't bad considering the warranty. I also posted the other TLC-1 (not the revision A) last night on audiogon for $450 and it sold in about 5 minutes. I mailed it out today. I had about 5 offers in the first 1/2 hour, making me wonder how much more I could have gotten :). So again it was another almost even trade, the TLC-1 for a meridian 518. I am excited to try the digital preamp, I think I'll hook the dac up directly to the amp using the 518 into the dac and see how that sounds. I may need yet another aes/ebu cable and I know it'll be hard to find a good price on an mit proline again. I may temporarily use the straightwire since I don't think it's going to sell.
