Arcam fmj cd33

Also consider the Cambridge Audio 840C. It offers true balanced operation, crystal clear sound and has a vanishingly low noise floor. Any "digital glare" noted will be coming from the source material with the 840C. The two additional digital inputs can offer similar results with DVD players and cable/satellite tuners. Good luck!

I bought a cd23 used a year or so ago and I have been well pleased. Not one second of trouble. Can't remember where I saw it but at least one reviewer liked the cd23 better than the cd33. But I have not heard the cd33. The 23 is a little older technology and can be bought for less. I have been thinking of moving up but whenever I cost/benefit it in my mind I stay where I am. Even if I do move up I will probably relegate the cd23 to my second system and the Denon 2910 there now will be bumped to being a DVD player only.

any major differences between the fmj cd23 and the 33?

Here are a couple of links for you:

The Stereophile article explains the differences. I could not find the review where the reviewer liked the 23 over the 33. I remember it was a woman though, not that that means anything...
