Arcam CD-33T FMJ vs Rega Jupiter 2000


Has anyone demoed both of these for an opinion???
Would like to hear all pros and cons ,or input on either
one.
Time to upgrade my old Denon CDC-3520 which really isn't that bad.(I also was just thinking of putting a DAC (Channel Islands or Bel Canto)on the Denon)
Opinions on that upgrade also appreaciated.....

I'm sorry you didn't get more timely responses to this, but I need to go on record as strongly disagreeing with the previous post. The CD-33 is fairly uniformly considered superior to the Jupiter 2000. The Rega Planet was a great player, but Rega hasn't captured the same magic in CD players since when compared to the best competition at a given price point (now with turntables, like the wonderful P-3, that is an entirely different matter).

While I prefer the cheaper Linn Genki to the CD-33 FMJ, there is enough of a distinct difference in presentation that reasonable people may certainly differ. The CD-33 is very nice.
