I have not listened to the Arcam FMJ 37 however...
Is the FMJ 37 the same as the 36 except SACD added? I really would like to know.
I have had an Arcam FMJ 36 for some time now and recently picked up a Rega Saturn. I thought I'd hear a marked improvement with the Saturn but compairing them side by side the Arcam actually does better in many respects. They are very close but the Arcam has slightly better resolution, more air and sparkle, wider soundstage, tighter more accurate tuneful bass and is not edgy at all...I was suprised that the Arcam not only held its own but actually surpassed the Saturn in some respects.
The only thing the Saturn may do better is a bit more mid bass ummmph which gives it a slightly fuller sound.
At least thats what I'm hearing in my system.
Good luck!!
