I love my Rega Apollo. Both the sound and the form factor, with a pop-up door rather than a mechanical sliding tray (one less thing to break).
Review: "As with other Rega products—their entry-level tonearms come to mind—few other audio components of my experience, and no other contemporary CD players, offer so much music for so little money. Unless your system has an egregiously bright sound, you can’t go wrong with the Rega Apollo. And if your heart is set on spending $10,000, go ahead and buy nine of these and spread the love. Robustly recommended."
