Thanks for the posts. Gallusm, did you compare FMJ to CD92? I could have my CD72 upgraded to CD92 and save some $$. Lazarus, thanks too for your note. I do plan to do some Rega-Arcam comparison this week.
I was able to compare CD72 to CD92 in one showroom, and Planet to Jupiter in another. With Arcam, the CD92 was clearly better than CD72. With Rega, the Jupiter was different, and I think it was better than Planet but not so sure--it seemed brighter in a not altogether better way. Although, I did not have as much time so impression is not as reliable. Certainly, Jupiter was punchier than Planet. The Planet/Jupiter system sounded very good all around.
