QUAD or Arcam ?

I am looking for a CD & amp to go with QUAD 11L or 12L speakers.

Waiting to demo but any thoughts appreciated on either the QUAD 99 series or Arcam A65+ with Arcam CD73T

Tempted by the QUAD as can get at similar price, but as have not heard any thoughts appreciated at this stage. tend to listen to a mix of pop, rock and classical

I've listened to some of the ARCAM CD players with MAC and Tannoys and for the money ARCAM is a steel.

From what ive read the newer Quad CD-P (the one with preamp outs) is a whole different animal from the earlier version so make sure your looking at the latest one. Havent heard it yet but the Brit reveiws have all been good.

Yeh I am looking at CD-P.

I have seen reviews which are excellent for both Arcam and Quad.

Given Quad is a lot more expensive at retail price I presume it is a big step up in performance but not always so - anyone else got a view ??
