Rega 2000 questions

Hello all,

I am in the process of researching turntables, but also want to upgrade my cd player from the Rotel 950 that I have to possibly a Rega 2000 or the earlier model, used. My system seems to be a bit on the dark or warm side with the Rotel and the B & W 602's. At one time, I tried a Parasound cd player and that was so ungodly bright that cymbal crashes or drum sticks on the rim, hurt my ears. I have a friend who uses the Rega with a pair of Biro speakers and it's a wonderful, open, detailed sound, with great soundstage and depth. I wonder how much the cd player vs speakers affects the sound. I am relatively new to this or should I say, not as well versed as most, so all suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I had an NAD 3-CD carousel, and bought a Rega 2000, which was an improvement. Then I got a good deal on a Toshiba 9200 CD/DVD and to my ears its much better than the Rega. I have Lowther Medallions, which can be bright, but its never been a problem with the Toshiba. It also upsamples to 192K, which I like because I think its makes my redbook CD's sound a little better.
