Rega Jupiter vs Marantz SA14

Over the past couple of weeks I've listened to several CD players. The Arcam FMJ, the Naim CD 5 and the Rega Jupiter. In my humble opinion the Jupiter came out on top in every instance. Althought it was close at times between the CD5 and the Jupiter, I found the Jupiter warmer and more inviting. Perhaps, reminiscent of vinyl. The Arcam on the other hand was clearly stomped by the Rega (no contest).

My system now includes:
Rega Jupiter
Rogue Audio 99
Rogue Audio M-120's
Audio Physics Virgo's
Mapleshade wire and interconnects (great stuff...)
Plateau component stands

i have not heard the marantz, so i cannot compare. i can just say that the jupiter is a wonderful cd player, and is the best i've ever heard. not to say that there isn't a better one, mind you, just that i have yet to hear one. (parents have linn mimik, heard jolida, 47 labs and a few others)

i obviously don't regret getting it and would recommend it to anybody. for the first time, i have NO interest in updating my cd player.
