Original Rega Planet vs. new Jupiter


I'm really an analog guy but 2 years ago I added to my secondary system a used Rega Planet, the original, to start a cd collection. I have been thinking about upgrading by purchasing used a 2000 version Rega Jupiter.. can any of you experienced with the sound of these two tell me if it's worth the upgrade and what the differences are or improvements the jupiter makes over the planet, if any and how noticable? thank you for any help.

I'll echo the comments here. The Original Planet was a fine player and is still a steal at its used price. The Jupiter offers greater detail, greater extension. greater inner detail,m and far better soundstaging. In addition each note has a natural weight to it. Bass response is much much better in the Jupiter. If you like the Rega sound which is darker, snmoother, and non-analytical then the jupiter will be a definite improvement. I always tel lmy non-audiophile friends to look at Rega when they ask me for advice. The gear is well priced, looks nice, and sounds loads beter than anything in its price range, save a tie with Musical Fidelity which sounds different but not better.
