Arcam used pretty mediocre quality capacitors in this unit (unlike the CD73), and as a used unit a few years old, off the shelf, with definite capacitor deterioration, you are NOT going to hear the sound of which it's capable.
As a used unit, though, if the price is right, it's a good buy, provided you understand that there is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that you're going to have to invest some effort to bring it up to its true potential.
And that effort is worthwhile - after a correct restoration, it is truly spectacular.
