RegaPlanet Original vs RegaPlanet 2000 vs Jupiter?


Hi all,

I am in the process of sourcing for a CD player at the moment. Is it worth paying 2x more on the "used" market for a Rega Planet 2000 as opposed to the Rega Original? As I understand with most consumer-grade electronics, they have built-in obsolence calculated in them. Hence, buying a 1998 CD player might not seem like a wise idea after all.

Advice highly appreciated.
BTW, I am using a cheap 1997 harman kardon $250 HD710 CD player right now...

Any CD player over 5 years old which has been well used may well be on its last legs. I'd only get an old CD player if it was really really cheap. Nothing against Rega ... just CD players have too much mechanics to be a safe used buy.

Another great thing about the rega cd players is the top loading feature. There is no motorized drawer to break. I belive the only moving part is the motor that spins the cd. The same is true With Naim Audio CD players.
