The Alpha 9 is the one to go for. Expect to pay around £300 to £350.

I've got an Arcam Alpha 3 amp and tuner, currently with an old Technics cd
player (can't remember the model, remote control, probably as old as the
arcam gear, at least it sounds better than my DVD player).

Would an Arcam CD player of a a similar vintage be worth having or would I
be better off looking for something like an oldish Marantz in the ad mag
(when I listened to Arcam's recent CD player and a Marantz, it was *very*
close behind for not much less money)?
