Best Rock Player... Jupiter??



I was ready to buy the Cary 303/200 but then I read a
post that the Rega had better PRAT. I also read that
the 303/200 can be a little slower sounding. I'm
looking for that all important boogie factor. It
seemed like what I was reading pointed me more towards
the Jupiter for boogie factor and rock music. Correct
me if I am wrong Cary fans.

I did heard the Jupiter vs Naim CD3.5 and I liked the
Rega better. The Naim seemed dry sounding?? I was
prepared to spend more for the Cary 303/200 but it seems
like the cheaper Jupiter might be more of my cup of tea
since its got more boogie factor..? Am I wrong? I
haven't heard the Cary, just the Naim and the Rega.

Thanks
Tom

I've owned the Rega Planet and I presently own a Cary 303/100(no upsampling) and I can say without hesitation that the Rega was the slower sounding player as well as sounding veiled and uninvolving. I also listen to rock and between these 2 players it's a no brainer...Cary all the way.
But please do yourself a huge favor and take whatever cdp you want to audition and take it home and throw it in your system and listen with your cd's.
Your missing the boat if you rely totally on opinion..and that includes mine.
