Rega Planet 2000 vs Classe CDP.3

Are you finished...

Don't be silly. The .3 is very easy to find (w/ pictures!):

Your post is an ad in its entirety, not just the offer. You should copy and paste if and when you try to sell it, legitimately. BTW - you are the only one who has not added true value, but your understanding of respect is very accurate for audiogon. As absurd as the notion is, those who are respected should not be criticized.

"you have added no value to this PERSONS QUESTION"

zero is better than negative.

Response to Ohlala,
My point is that if the poster of this thread wanted a review of the classe, I own one and if he is considering buying one.. they are hard to come by, and yes it does so happen that mine was for sale at the time... I see no shame in offering a , "hard to find" piece to an interested person... I would rather see my player go to a good home anyway. By the way, you have added no value to this persons question and criticized a respected member of audiogon... Faux Pas to you!

What the hell is this? Digital in the anolog is not that big of a deal, but now and ad?! Faux Pas

Definately the Classe cdp.3..
I bought one and at first wasnt hot on it... but it grew on me quickly.. I replaced a musical fidelity a3 cr player. The classe build quality is amazing and the remote is very cool.. a solid piece of milled aluminum. dual 20 bit burr brown convertors.. HDCD capable and xlr out as well as dig out. A very musical player.. 3 dimensional and nice bottom end.. vocals are a little laid back.. I replaced it with a krell kav 300 cd.. and it was an improvement.. but for 6 to 700 it is a great player.. btw i am selling one now for 699.00 perfect, silver face and all boxes and manuals.. if interested email me for pix.
Enjoy

I've compared both, not in the same system. I did not like either of them. While auditioning the planet, I preferred an adcom gcd-750 in balanced mode side by side. When I auditioned the Classe I was comparing it to Rotel 991. I thought both were too laid back and lacked PRAT. If your looking in this price range you might want to consider a modded Sony SACD.

Best of Luck
