Rega or Sony from a "digital dope"

I bought a used Rega and I enjoy it very much. Prior I ran an Magnavox CD630 into a Meridian 563. I like the Rega better. At the used price you can't go wrong. Pick it up. If you don't like it it will be easy to sell. BTW, the Rega will play CDR's and CDRW's. A nice feature if you need it.

In my system the Rega does not sound dull and my amp, pre-amp and speakers are not products that need to be smoothed out. Classe' CA101, Classe' 5 MK II, highly modified Magnapan MG II's, Audio Truth Sterling and Lapis. If anything this system is, as you would say, on the slightly smooth side and I get a vivid and realistic palyback. I wouldn't say that it is "state of the art". But, none are in this price range. Trelja, what system have you heard the Planet in? Again,to me it sounded better that the Meridian, Magnavox or Marantz combination. And, the 563 was a well regarded D-A. As I stated prior, buying any of these cd players used is not much of a risk. You can easly sell them if you don't like the sound in your system.
