Hi, I'm buying a new cd player to go with an arcam a65+ and kef iq5se. The dilemma is this, do i buy a cambridge audio 640v2 or a second hand rega planet 2000 which i've been offered for roughly the same price? Thanks for any help.
 
Tricky. You won't get a better sound from the Rega over the Cambridge (in my opinion), but you will get a cooler player. If you like the aesthetics (and don't plan to put anything on top of it) and are not risk-averse (from not having a guarantee), I'd get it.
 
Rega cd players are superb, better build and the sound is much more coherent. Apollo and Planet are the stars buy, not too sure about your rega planet 2000! If I remember rightly it quite a smooth sounding cdp which shouldn't offend no one

I think the Rega is a far better player!
 
I home demoed a Rega Planet a few years back,a very musicle player smooth very much like a marantz 63se,perhaps slightly more detailed.I would go for the Rega.
 
My judgment would be that the Rega will present the music with more soul...whatever that means...
