About the Planet (Original)
The Rega Original Planet CD player was designed to offer a 'vinyl-like' sound, which was unusual for a CD player from a company primarily known for its vinyl products. It features a top-loading mechanism where the CD is placed directly on the drive unit, which also acts as a clamping mechanism. This design reduces the risk of scratching discs compared to traditional drawer-type mechanisms. The player is equipped with a single-ended analog output and an S/PDIF digital output, making it versatile for various audio setups. It is noted for its warm and natural sound, though some critics found it lacking in treble extension and dynamics compared to other models. The player's dimensions are 17.2 inches wide, 3.5 inches high, and 10.5 inches deep, with a weight of 8 pounds.
