288.0. "Comments on Philips cd202 ?" by KETJE::DEMOORK () Tue Jul 02 1991 16:56

    Some seven years ago, I bought a Philips cd202 CD player to add to
    my audio system, consisting of Monitor Audio R152 speakers  and a
    DENON PMA737 amplifier amongst other things.
    Can any of you cd gurus comment on the sound quality of this CD player.
    Would an upgrade to a more modern CD improve the sound quality on my
    system in a noticeable way ?

    	Regards,

    Kurt.

    I recently directly auditioned an Arcam Alpha (�420 in UK) against my
    four year old Philips CD360 (was �250). The Arcam was noticeably much
    better - smoother, much more detail, interesting to listen to etc.
    
    Before that particular demonstration, I wasn't convinced that there was
    much difference between 3-4 year old players and the more recent ones.
