iam looking for a nice cd player and need some help. my current setup is: adcom gfa 555 adcom gtp 500II ohm walsh 3xos i was originally thinking about a rega planet but im not sure if my system/music taste demand a planet. now im thinking about a nad. any advice is appreciated. thanks
many cdps will have better performance at the extremes than that combination will show to full effect.That aside the Rega is a really good cdp and if you upgrade amp and pre it will reward with increased performance.
dvd player with Adcom GDA-600 DAC. that mates well with the trebley nature of the adcom gear. the gda600 is very smooth, like the rega planet (At least the one I heard). a gda600 should be about $150 used last time I checked.
The Rega Planet is a VERY smooth sounding CD player, almost to the point of being lush. If the rest of the system is very warm, this combination can be annoying (to me anyway). I think they tried very hard to make the sound similar to that from their turntables. But your Adcom gear is brighter sounding, not warm at all. I agree with Aroc that a smooth sounding CD player would be best with your bright sounding Adcom gear, so the Rega Planet could be a good match.
