Hearing is believing. Take your player to an Arcam dealer and do your own comparison. Listen to a short passages of music you are familiar with closely and repeatitively with your Cambridge, then quickly switch to the Arcam. Do this several times with different music. Good vocal tracks will be the most revealing (I like Diana Krall for this). You will then quite likely be a big believer. Although I am not familiar with the Cambridge, the Arcam is a great player for the money.
Replace my Cabridge 500se w/Arcam 72?
Howdy,
I'm wondering if I'll notice a significant improvement if I switched to the Arcam 72 from my Cambridge Audio 500se. My musical tastes are more singer/songwriters with splashes of clasic alternative.
The rest O'my rig:
Paradigm Studio 60s v2
Anthem TLP1
Odyssey Stratos w/cap upgrade
Mid-Fi cabling throughout (MIT, Groneberg, Signal, AQ)
I need to stay in the sub-$400 range used. I want detail without harshness, a deeper sound stage and better midrange clarity. Will the Arcam give me that over the Cambridge? If not, then what will given my budget?
Hanx!
