I recently bought a JD 100 and swapped out the tubes for Electro Harmonix, and damped the chassis. I needed a second player for my office, so I bought the Planet 2000. After an A/B the Jolida took the cake for a slightly more detailed, open sound. I sold the Rega the next day. The rega is a great player and actually has a very nice, thick chassis, except the front and rear covers are plastic...go figure..the top loader is slick, but the Jolida sounded better to my ears...I have never heard the Fidelity....
