I went from the Planet 2000 to the Jupiter 2000 and I'm completely satisfied with the upgrade. It is significantly better thean the Planet and I have not had upgrade-fever since. I highly recommend it. Be sure to replace the power cord with something like the Analysis Plus power cord or any similar quality cord and put the player on Black Diamond Racing cones or homemade zebrawood blocks.
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.
