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'm not a Cary fan, but I know that it's fast enough for any rock and also tooo revealing for the bad mastered digi-records. As to EMC-1 it's quite a bit more costly than Cary although excellent machine for hard rock and classical music at the same time.
As to Rega stuff I'm not realy friendly since I realy did NOT like the performance of Rega Planet and Rega Planet 2000 after although never heard Jupiter. Is it just a transport? Planets used as transports never pleased my ears as well. The appearance of Planets aren't also pleasing and seems that CD-tray looks like a tray from pocket CD-player.
