I have got the choice of purchasing either a secondhand Arcam FMJ33 or a
new Cambridge 840 CD player.

Unfortunately I cannot audition either in my home set up but have heard
both by way of demo. I am struggling to decide.

Any advice?

regards

Hi,
Cambridge is 740 pounds as is new.
Arcam is secondhand, but in great condition and is 560 pounds.

Agreed, but beware that they can be a bit wearing if your have a bright
system as they also tend to be bright.

That's the trouble with CDs - they *are* wearing!

(Never mind how much silly money some people fling at the players....)
