I loved the original Rega plaent when it was in my system. In fact I had used it as a transport for an outboard DAC for awhile, but found I like the Rega's analog output stage more that the DAC. However, you may want to consider something more recent, like the CD-25, as the original Rega transport had issues on some CD-Rs and newer enhanced CDs (meaning those with a data layer containing interactive software and so forth).
Music Hall CD-25 or original Rega Planet?
I currently own, and enjoy, the original Planet and am considering purchase of the CD-25. Have any of you digital dudes had a good listen to both under controlled conditions? I would appreciate it if someone could contrast the sound qualities of these two players. I don't do much digital. Thanks!
