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

get the jupiter. i've heard the naim and i think that the naim does sound marginally better, but only with the power supply upgrade. with the upgrade, it's timing is amazing. otherwise, the jupiter is certainly the way to go. (and the way i did go)

most of my collection is rock, as well.

i also tested the planet, naim cd5, jolida somethin', 47 labs, and a few others

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.
