I have never heard either, but was debating buying one of them. If I was short on cash I would go for the original, but if I could afford it, I would go for the 2000. Looks count if you ask me, although sound is the final decision. Also usability counts, and I think the 2000 does a better job than the original. My next CD player purchase will most likely be the 2000. Plus I believe you can use either as a transport and add a DAC later.
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...
