Arcam fmj cd33

I don't have enough exposure to the players in that price range to say that it is the best for the money.

You may want to consider an fmj CD23. I liked the 23 better than the 33. Although I didn't get to hear them side by side, it was in the same room, with the same speakers.

Curious if someone has heard the 33, or 36, and 23 side by side and what their opinion would be?

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?
