You have heard all those CDPs and that is all you can say about the Planet, nothing?
Review: Rega Planet 2000 CD Player
Category: Digital
The Rega Planet 2000 is in my opinion the best CD player available in its price range. Yes, there are many players available that can whip its behind, but at multiples of its price. It offers a great opportunity for people to break out from the low-end screechiness offered by so many mass-market companies. The sound is warm, yet detailed. It is dynamic, yet not in-your-face.
You will not get all of the harmonic details, clarity, and realism of some of the truly audiophile units however. If it's in your price range make sure you demo it, and as always, pay attention to the equipment used in the demo to make things fair.
