| Arcam FMJ CD36 or Simaudio Moon Nova? I have spent time with New Arcam 36, the 33, the CD192 and the audio aero prima, older model. I think the Arcams are on the warm musical side, tremendous depth, and very enjoyable to listen to. The 192 did not have the depth, detail of upper frequ... | |

| Help a vinyl-phile with a digital upgrade I was in a similar position until I heard a BAT CD player, but I could not afford the $6000.00 asking price. I went about looking and found the Arcam FMJ33 CD player. On more than one occasion I went to take an album off my TT and was shocked to s... | |

| Shunyata Hydra 4 vs PS Audio UPC 200 Grisslehamn, I have a Billy Bags Pro1.5 rack. I do not have any isolation under the Arcam at this point, other that the stock feet. I may try a set of Still points without the riser attachments but have to spread my funds out a bit as I am looking... | |
