Movin' up from Rega Planet 2000? What next?

Greetings,
I'm absolutely pleased with the Rega 2000 I have, but in a multi-piece deal in equipment I'm selling, the buyer may want the Rega too.
So... if it goes, what would be my next upgrade?

I love the sound of the Planet 2000. I had a tube modded player and wasn't all that impressed after hearing the Planet 2000. Someone suggested the Rega Jupiter. Anyone concur? I really do love what the Rega is doing, so I would be most curious of players that have similar sound characteristics.

Other options of players at the $1k mark used that would fare very well against the Jupiter? I'm not planning on using a dac.

(I may have very soon for sale here a pair of Eminent Technology LFT-8A speakers with Sound Anchor stands, and an Outlaw 755 (5x200wpc) amp)

My components will be:
PS Audio PCA-2 preamp
PS Audio HCA-2 amp
Chapman T-7 speakers (3 way boxes similar to Vandersteens)
Vandersteen 2W subs
Harmonic Technology pro 11 speaker cables/H. tech interconnects

Thanks for all input.

Wow! thanks for all the wonderful factoids! I was unaware Rega planned a new disc player. I'm definitely going to check out the Apollo!

I have been seriously considering upgrading to the Jupiter since I do love the Rega sound. It probably would be a safe upward move.

I have not had opportunity to hear much of the Wadia equipment, seeing as how there are no dealers in Milwaukee that I know of. No Arcam dealers either that I know of. I could always do the second hand market purchase and test it.
