hi folks,

Thanks for all of your recomemndations. They were helpful.

After some thought, I ordered an Apollo from Uptown Audio in Ronaoke VA. Very nice folks on the phone line. They have a lot of high end gear and specialize in analog. They have 6 complete analog displays in their show room. The owner said the Rega is the most analog sounding CD player he has ever heard including players up to several times its price.

I ordered one. I will update you all as to how it sounds.

good listening all,

Larry
hi folks,

I got the Apollo yesterday and have listened to it a bit today. First impressions .... it sounds like a good analog table. Lush, musical, articulate and very captivating. As I listened I delayed analizing it and just listend to the great music coming from it. I'll post a followup.
