Summary:
I purchased second hand and been using it for 2 month. I played first press record v.s. remastered CD, and it was amazing that I could barely recognized the difference between analog and digital.

Weaknesses:
None.

Review 2 of 5

Price Paid:  $1100.00 from Hifiklubben

Summary:
this is a good player in the midrange spectra.
I had it whith a H/K 1.0 Signatur preamp and Rotel`s 991
This was a winning combination.Because the H/K is a bit hard and the Rega is "analog".
But when i connected it too The Classe` ssp-25 it did´nt work at all .It all got two "smooth" It´s like a madress arround the spekers. So in a cheap system aprox 2500-5000$
It`s a five star
whith a more exlucive system it`s a three star over all rating

Strengths:
Cheap

Weaknesses:
It depends what you connect it two ...

Review 3 of 5

Summary:
Visiting my dealer for a new rega planet, I decided to give the Jupiter/Io a listen. Since this combination is double the price of a Planet, I was curious if this difference was noticible. Well, it was. Allthough the Planet is without a doubt the best CD-player in its pricerange, the Jupiter/Io is a class of its own. It was love at first sight and needles to say I bought the miracle couple.

My system contains Rega Mira amplification and Infinity Overture 3 speakers (which, because of the build-in 300 Watts active subwoofers, do not need a whole lot of power from an amplifier. In fact, compared to Rega's Cursa/Maia pre/poweramplifier, Mira sounded just about the same.)
Rega's interlink proves to be a very affordable interlink worthy of my system.

Strengths:
Crisp clean sound, very impressive sound-detail

Weaknesses:
none as far as I know

Review 5 of 5

Summary:
You liked the Planet, you will love the Jupiter & Io. No doubt that the Planet is an excellent CD Player. Yet, Rega's new CD player goes much further. The sound is really great : full of life, low frequency are more present than with the Planet, high frequency are more subtle, the articulation is marvellous. The top CD-Player for those who usually don't appreciate numerical sound ! Although more expensive than the Planet, the Jupiter & Io is really good-value.
My system : Sugdgen, Spendor FL6, Mogami & Rega links.

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
