I have both the Planet 2000 and the Jupiter 2000. I would recommend the Jupiter 2000, although both are excellent. I use the Planet in my office in a lesser system and the Jupiter in my main system with a much nice amp (the nicer amp helps bring out the nuances of the Jupiter). The Jupiter is simply sweet! Worth twice the price? Who knows... but the whole is bigger than the sum of the parts to my ears. I think the 2000 series components would be a better choice because the older units are already that much older. But let your ears decide. You could also compare the reviews of the new vs old on Audioreview.com to get a sense of their character. The older Planet seems to be thought of as more laid back than the 2000.
RegaPlanet Original vs RegaPlanet 2000 vs Jupiter?
Hi all,
I am in the process of sourcing for a CD player at the moment. Is it worth paying 2x more on the "used" market for a Rega Planet 2000 as opposed to the Rega Original? As I understand with most consumer-grade electronics, they have built-in obsolence calculated in them. Hence, buying a 1998 CD player might not seem like a wise idea after all.
Advice highly appreciated.
BTW, I am using a cheap 1997 harman kardon $250 HD710 CD player right now...
