what's wrong Arcam FMJ cd33?

I have read a few reviews and most are very positive. One reviewer ( Hi-Fi Choice) gave it what I would call a very poor review, saying it robbed the music of it's life?? Doesn't mesh with the other reviews.. Then I have also read that the FMJ 23 may have been better also that Arcam came up with a replacement rather fast considering the FMJ 33 has not been out for a long time.
I listened to the CD 33 a couple weeks ago and almost bought the unit, sounded great but of course the dealer had it plugged into a mega buck system.
IMO, it's difficult to make a judgement buying a CD player..maybe more than any other component, not unless you can take it home before you buy..

Newmanoc and Davt..thanks for the info and your response.
The dealer is about 100 miles away and I may not have a chance to get over there for awhile. He was very helpful but I couldn't see asking him to let me take the unit home since I lived so far away.
I have somewhat learned to read "between the lines" when it comes to reviews on audio products..just couldn't figure out the Hi-Fi Choice review, did they have a bad unit, was the reviewer having a bad day? Bad associated equip? Who knows.
