Music Hall cd-25 or Rega planet 2000

I just upgraded from a Rega Planet 2000. It is a very good player for the money. When I auditioned it I compared it directly to a Musical Fidelity 3.2. While I felt the 3.2 had a bit more detail, the Rega had much more body and presence & PRAT. I loved mine. The only reason I upgraded is because I bought a Wadia.

I have never heard the music hall so I can't offer a fair comparison.

I live in Canada and am selling mine. If your interested let me know. Either way, the Planet 2000 is a great player and I doubt it would disappoint you.

Happy Listening,
Nick

You can't go wrong with either of them. They are both fine players for the money. But I would lean more to the Rega myself.

I forgot to mention that being a bass player, for me the low frequency information on recordings is of great importance. I do like hearing the acoustical space of a recording also. I guess i won't really get true bass until i get a set of speakers.

The Rega has a good bottom end on it for the price. It goes fairly deep and is enjoyable. I would not say the bottom end is the weak point.

If anything is a weak point its the high end. I find the high end while also enjoyable, on the rolled off side. The I think Rega did this to hide some of the digital nasties, as well as make it sound more like a turn table.

Cheers
Nick

Boy are you in luck! Go to ecoustics.com. Do a word search under Music Hall. The first review of the MH-CD25 from audaud.com (October 2002) does a direct comparison between the Music Hall and Rega Planet 2000. Rotel 1070 CDP is also compared to the Music Hall in the same review.
