Meridian F80/M80 Russ Andrews Upgrade

Prompted by Russ who wanted to improve his own M80, we’ve been investigating ways in which we can improve the performance of the popular M80 and F80 radios from Meridian Audio.

The area we’ve found that gives a significant improvement is its mains transformer; we have specified a very high performance, bespoke replacement which has been built by the same transformer manufacturer that makes our Balanced Mains Units.

The new transformer uses our SuperSilent technology which virtually eliminates transformer noise through the use of innovative core technology, higher quality materials and better quality control.


You will need to send your Meridian F80 or M80 units to us for modification. The work is carried out in-house - this is a Russ Andrews modification, not a Meridian Audio modification.

We recommend you send your radio to us in its original packaging. If required, we can arrange a fully-insured carrier collection.

Turnaround time is usually 2-5 days, but you must contact us before it is sent to us to ensure we have the capacity to do the work.

A 2 year guarantee is provided in the unlikely event a problem should occur with the transformer upgrade. Other failures not attributed to the transformer, such as the optical drive are not included.

Please note: the Meridian M80 is not included.
