I am currently using a CD92T, and it replaced a Cambridge CD500SE. In my system, Ive found the Arcam to provide a more linear presentation; with significant improvements in the frequency extremes. The Cambridge was a bit too loose in the bass for me; whereas the CD92T is tighter and more resolved
.cello and acoustic bass sound more like a bow across strings with the Arcam, rather than the indistinct drone that came from my Cambridge.
That said, some might prefer the rounded, warmer presentation of the Cambridge or the Rega players; which roll off the top end a bit. As with everything else, it depends on what youre after and how it gels with the rest of your system.
