Hi guys, I am from Belgrade.Serbia.I need help to chose between this two Arcam CD players because I dont know what are differences between them in sound.Some people told me that better sound has model CD73T but i need more conclusions.Which player has better sound and you are recommended to me? Write on your lenguage(my father works in Moscow,I understand it very well).Thank You !

Hi, that an odd conclusion that 82 is worse than 73. Construction is the same, same transport and power, but 82 has better DACs and it does sound better.
Me, I have Arcam 73T and it's fine for me, but sound level of 82T is higher.
What're Your other components? Supposed company for Arcam?

Some people told me various stories and conclusions are different.The DAC is same,because CD73T has one Wolfson Dac,CD82T has two same DACS,one for each channel to process.But I cant listen them,because we dont have a dealer hear in Belgrade.I am afraid because CD82T is older model,so maby CD73 is in the near level of sound.Did you listen CD82T?
I have DIY Dayens Ectasy IV MOSFET Hi-end audiophile amplifier with preamp(2x150wsin,28kg,look at http://www.dayens.co.yu ), DIY Visaton VOX 253 speakers(full version,with polyprolines,WBT terminals...),DVD Marantz 4200,A/V receiver Marantz SR6300(6x100wsin),modified B&W 603S2( much better cross-over) for rear channels,subwoofer - Infinity Reference 1230W and til I buy a new CD - NAD C521BEE.Thank you for your helping.You can freely write me in your lenguage,I undestand it a lot.

Буду писать вам на русском, может другие форумчане тоже к нам присоединятся.
Вы, конечно, правы ЦАП тот же Вульфсон, просто их 2!
Я не знаю уровень звучания вашей системы, но моё мнение, берите тот Аркам, который позволяет бюджет. Разница в 73 и 82 в одной плате, конструктивно они одинаковые. По этой же причине, 73й модернизируется до 82го, путём замены этой платы.
Старшая (82я) модель даёт более детальный и открытый звук. Здесь неважно какая из них появилась позже. За свою цену, 73й отличный аппарат.
Берите, что позволяет бюджет.

Я вообще сейчас присматриваюсь к Arcam FMJ C33, но пока я в него не вписываюсь.

Как на мой взгляд, современные Аркамы вообще неважно играют музыку. И чего вы в них уперлись...

Thats your opinion,and I will not try to convince you,because our views and tastes are completely different.In that price range Arcam is on of the best buy solutions,if we except old CD players with CDM transport or dac TDA1541 like Philips 304 MK2,Philips 880,Marantz CD10,17 or excelent players with dac PCM63 like good old Accupshase,Copland etc.But in the era of the new products,in my opinion,Arcam is the best buy in this range 500-660$.Tastes are various,some people love Marantz,some love NAD or something else.I had listened model CD73T and I compare with Marantz CD 7300,CD 7000 KI,NAD C541,Cambridge Audio 640C and I am mostly satisfied with this player.Marantz CD 7300 has excellent bass,but it was slower with dynamic by Arcam CD 73T.Some people love warm sound,some dynamic, I prefere good timing and dymanic and wide open scenes with details.But I asked about CD82T because i didnt listen that model.

When I wrote Marantz Cd7000 KI I mentioned CD 6000KI.And I must add - I love that a little neutrality by Arcam,but with a lot of details and dynamic sound,because some CD players maybe have warmer sound,but truly,a little nwutral sound,in my opinion, is much closer to the nature.

а какие плееры играют на твой взляд?
что-то мне кажеться мой Ротель 951 сливает твоей Микромеге, а в детальности и изъятии эмоций так точно

"In that price range Arcam is on of the best buy solutions"

I can say by your own words: "Thats your opinion,and I will not try to convince you"

I saw what you sad about old players and I must said that you are right in one side.But the other side about old CD players like marantz CD 10 is that you dont know in what condition is that player if you buy by e-bay,you must find a new laser(do you know that more than 70% lasers are Chinese)for that model,and because it has a more than 10 years,you must change electrolites.And perhaps that all of this is OK,you must find a good man to modified it.Yes,I admit,one of the best CD players I ever heard is modified Denon DCD-1520,but that man modified him,seriously,about 6 months to today audiophile version.Did you heard about modified DACS TDA1541 of Pedja Rogic?Try to find by google,you will be pleasantly suprised.
