Meridian 508.20 is not very popular in Hong Kong.  In my personal
opinion, I think you probably can consider Sony XA7ES as a replacement
-- I believe both players are Stereophile Class A products but the
Sony is much cheaper in HK when compare to the high list price in US.

The more popular CD players in Hong Kong are from Wadia, Mark/Proceed,
and Krell.  You can get from the second hand market as well but I
can't quote the price in details.  Sonic Frontier SFCD-1 is around
$28000 and I saw "New in the box" parallel imported at around $20,000
in Hong Kong. =20

Sorry not heard of this.
Second hand DAC in Hong Kong is not that expansive.  HK audiophiles
change their equipment quite often and DAC is probably on the top of
the list as new technology comes out from time to time.

I know Naim is famous for its musical attribute.  Unfortunately this
is also not a very popular brand so getting a Naim here is a bit
tricky.  I have a friend who just sold his Naim 42.5/140 at below
HK$6000 (very low price because unpopular and low profile).  He has a
Naim Hi-Cap here as well and is asking for HK$6000.  If you are
interested in this one, drop me a email ASAP.

On Pre and Power amp., the choice is large in second hand market.  But
the popular solid state makers, I think Rowland and Classe is not
difficult to purse in second hand market.  Or maybe you can consider
tube amp. as well. I saw Golden Tude SE40 for around $6K in very good
condition here.  A Pass Aleph 3 can be obtained at around $11000 to
$13000,  I suppose these are the more "musical" amp. that I have in
mind at this moment.

I don't suppose you want a replacement on this, right?

Cable is a very large market in Hong Kong when comapre to US or
Europe.  I think the cable company sold more high-end cables to here
than to UK as a whole.  So you'll get lots of choice here, new or
second handed.  But I am not sure about the price difference.

Monitor Audio is a very popular brand in Hong Kong, so getting them
new is not a problem.  The Studio 2 is a small bookshelf speaker,
right?  One of the dealer is putting up a "removal sales" and is
selling the MA Studio 2 Rosewood at HK$5990. Aldo for your reference,
the latest advertisement ask for HK$6800 for the famous MA Monitor 700
and $8600 for PMC702.=20

Sonus Faber is avaialbe in Hong Kong but I am not familiar with their
product.

I link Bryston amps. myself and I think Aragon is very competitive on
the same line.  The Bryston 4BST is getting a lot of attention
recently as several local magazine has put up rave review on it.  They
are around $17500 in Hong Kong (new from shop).

Hope this is helpful to you.
