from used Summary: I have compared the Arcam FMJ 36 to more expensive players and suprisingly the Arcam sounded better in many areas. Very wide soundstage with excellent detail. Instruments and voices easy to pick out in the music with depth and location of instruments easily heard. If the recording is a good one the player will give you that wide tall soundstage where the music sees to float there above and way beyond the speakers.
Although it is a smooth player it's dynamic capibilities are astounding. The bass may seem to have less weight when first listening, however the bass on the Arcam is tonally acurate and can let you hear those bass notes moving along instead of rounded/bloated notes like many other players.
Easy to use , straight forward and never a glitch in opperation, a well made product.
Perhaps a sleeper that for the price can't be beat.
Strengths: Projects sound beyond the speakers creating an almost 3d effect. Tonally acurate, extended smooth highs with an airy quality. Very accurate and tunefull bass. Can READ THE DISPLAY FROM ACROSS THE ROOM! Weaknesses: sometimes I wish they had located the buttons on the remote in a more organised way. No balanced output. A bit plain looking.
