Went from original Planet to Rega Jupiter 2000 and love the Jupiter.
Upgrade from Rega Planet
Hey,
I have an original Rega Planet, which I run through a Naim 32.5/140 combo. I am thinking of upgrading the Planet, even though I listen predominently to vinyl. Naim is the obvious choice, but their new players are too expensive, and even an older 3.5 is $700 or so, and then there are parts availability issues with other used Naim players. So what's out there that is significantly (not just a bit) better than the Planet, that will work well in a Naim system, and that are really affordable, say $800 or less (new or used). Aggressive sounding is fine, digital grain and etched are not.
I think very highly of the original Planet, and am quite open to the possibility that it takes a lot to actually beat it.
Thanks!
