Having heard this player, I don't think there is anything wrong with it at all. I have yet to hear anything I like better in its price range, though I readily admit digital source preferences are quite individual. But rob music of its life? No way. In at least one system in which I heard it, that is a description I would use for the much more expensive Meridian G08, but not the Arcam.
what's wrong Arcam FMJ cd33?
I have read a few reviews and most are very positive. One reviewer ( Hi-Fi Choice) gave it what I would call a very poor review, saying it robbed the music of it's life?? Doesn't mesh with the other reviews.. Then I have also read that the FMJ 23 may have been better also that Arcam came up with a replacement rather fast considering the FMJ 33 has not been out for a long time.
I listened to the CD 33 a couple weeks ago and almost bought the unit, sounded great but of course the dealer had it plugged into a mega buck system.
IMO, it's difficult to make a judgement buying a CD player..maybe more than any other component, not unless you can take it home before you buy..
