Has anyone heard one of these compared to a CD92T? Lintone are selling new ones for £399.95 and I would get £250 for my CD92T which is about 6 years old. This seems like a no-brainer to me.
Arcam CD192

I'd definitely go for it! I still run a CD192 in my home reference system (with Primare pre/power and B&W 805 speakers) and it's a terrific-sounding CD player. If you can upgrade for £150, I'd say it's well worth the money.

I haven't heard one, but if you can get £250 for yours, like you said, no brainer.
Although I was nearly tempted by the CD36 before I finally weened myself off the idea of CDs... Only 3 stars from WHF at its original price, but by all accounts, a distinctly better player than the 192, and at 689, another no-brainer.

I think the missus would go bananas if I spent much as I promised not to spend any more for a couple of years and she doesn't like me much at the moment anyway.
The other thing is I have a bespoke rack so I need exactly the same dimensions and a silver Arcam finish to match the rest of my kit, I may even be able to sneak it in under cover of darkness if I'm clever...
Andy, have you ever compared the two players?

Yes I blame the fella from hifiracks.co.uk for making all my stuff fit perfectly when in actual fact I wanted a rack that looked stupid but would upgrade ;-)
In response to 73 vs 192, I can't comment exactly but the 92 is a decent improvement so I guess the 192 will be even better
