Rega Planet 2000 - VERY NICE!
Bought a Planet 2000 off Agon about a month ago without doing a home demo first. The improvement in sound was dramatic! Very deep soundstage with great richness and detail. I posted several months back looking for CDP suggestions and Dusty Chalk called it - for the price the Rega is outstanding! I home demoed an Arcam 72 for the same price and wasn't very impressed, while it did have a wider soundstage it didn't have the imaging, richness, and detail of the Planet. Also demoed an NAD 542 and that was not much better than my 14 yr old Technics that I was looking to replace. Bottom line: if you can find a Planet in good shape buy it!
