ArcamFJM CD36: Can it compete with newer players

A friend wants to sell his Arcam FMJ CD36 player because he is going with a computer music system. Would like to know if this model Arcam CD player could compete (or even) exceed the performance of the higher end Sony, Rega and Cambridge Audio of the last 5 to 7 years. Reviews about the the Arcam FMJ CD 36 are generally very positive, but some claim the bass is somewhat light and thin. All comments appreciated. Thanks

those Arcam FMJ were excellent cd players, reference quality.
Paired best w/ an Arcam receiver or processor and one will get pure musical joy. There are better power amps, I would not buy an Arcam.

A Rega Saturn would be the closest competition for an Arcam FMJ36.
