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 agree with greh. make sure you listen to your own cd's when auditioning. and also, greh, are you talking about the new or old planet? i owned them both and thought the new one was about twice as good.

i now use a jupiter 2000 and it's even better, especially in timing and low end. comperable to the naim cd5/linn genki.

in that price range, i think all three are must-auditions.

Do you have a local Creek dealer ? Their CD players are very popular in the UK, land of PRAT. Also try to look for Cyrus ... I loved their amps when I was living in the UK, and I have heard their CD players a few times .. very dynamic and exciting.

I dont know if you have seen The latest cd players from Cambridge but they definetly are not like you say, So please stop telling everyone they suck. Yes,they did have some problems before, but those are fixed now and i think they have the best build and quality,reliability in their price range and above. I have the D300 and its got Superb build and sound and i think it could last forever. Read the reviews. Not like they used to be go out and look for yourself.
