Rega planet 2000 Re: Size of RCA out - Help

Dear Sir,

Attn: Rega Planet 2000 User

I am in the process of upgrading my cd player(Yamaha cdc506), and have precluded that Rega Planet 2000 be my next cd player. But I have got a serious issue.

My current interconnects are Ixos gold 1000, its adaptors are HUGE to the point I had to use right angle rca adaptors so as to connect the interconnects to the cd-player. I went to Rega's website and downloaded Planet's manual and confirmed that the proximity between each RCA outs (i.e., Red and White)are rather tight... I am afraid if my Ixos interconnects wouldn't fit in it...and that had to use the ugly right angle adoptors... that would be a nightmare indeed...

My question therefore is: Could someone measure(in metric scale preferred)the outer furthest points of two rca circles [i.e., >O O<] The Yamaha CDC506 has got only 2.3mm of separation while I at least need 2.4 ~ 2.5mm of separation in order to use the interconnects w/o any adopotors.
regards,

Sincerely,
ipous

Dear Metralla and Willobandb,

Thank you for your valuable information above.

As for Metralla - Thank you for your technical expertise. As for your question - Yes, and No. It all depends upon how much scolarship I get this year. If I get enough, some of them may go to both an amp and a cd player otherwise it will be 'either/or'. I have a tendency to think big regardless of my actual circumstances. But, as an old proverb goes: A man is only as big as the dreams he dears to live!

As for Willobandb - The contact info. above is very useful. I will give call them up today.
cheers!

Sincerely,
