Just sold my Planet 2000 and replaced it with the JD-100. I had an original Planet before (I liked the sound of the 2000 better), and love the Rega products, but for me the JD-100 is a welcome improvement in every way. It is a solid beast of a player, runs quieter than the Rega, and the music sounds more fluid and natural--less processed, is the only way I can say it. I am very happy with this player, and I listen to everything from Cesaria Evora to Tool, from Tchaikovsky to Alice in Chains. Hope that helps.
Rega Planet 2000 vs. Jolida LD-100
I'm here to solicit opinions since I live about 120 miles from the nearest dealer of quality audio gear and have little opportunity to audition equipment. Since I have learned so much from reading these forums over the years as a bystander, I thought I'd ask your opinion on CDP's. I'm interested in purchasing a player in the $500-$700 range (used) and have found the reviews on these two to be overall outstanding.
I'm not really interested in SACD as I watch very few DVD's. So my question to you: Would you go with the Rega or the Jolida (or feel free to recommend another). I've considered the Sony XA7ES, but they typically sell for $1k used... a tad out of my price range.
Thanks!
