What's up with the Rega Planet 2000?

Fascinating first post for you at this site. Do you have another player in mind or are you Pro-Planet?

It is quite interesting. Two more on Agon today. FWIW I was going to get a 2000 but decided against it because of the top loading. They have changed the loading compartment and, according to what I have read in reviews, have made it more cumbersome to load and unload the disks. However most say it sounds better than the original Planet. I would have bought it if it wasn't top loading (limited space).

What I want to know is why I keep seeing Morrison ELAD's pop up. There's probably 100 or so in the entire world (pure speculation), and every ONE of those owners put a review of one up on the web . I guess the small number of people who didn't like it are chuckin' it here. But didn't someone say its design topography was "divine inspiration" or something like that :)

Dekay, I haven't had a chance to hear the 2000. I heard the original Planet and although it was smooth sounding, it didn't really excite me much. I've heard the 2000 is a big improvement. I recently upgraded my system(McCormack DNA125, VTL 2.5, Dynaudio 50's)and now I want to upgrade my Cambridge CD6. I plan on spending $7-900 used or new.
