Now what?

I like the sound of the Rega Apollo-R, but I don't like how it won't read disc that aren't perfect. I decided to start looking into replacing it. My journey began with a Densen 400 Plus. Wow what a difference. The Densen is bright, imaging is poor, sound stays between the speakers. Now I really understand when people say a component gives the prospective of sitting in the front row. My problem is I want to change from the Apollo, but I don't want to spend more than 2K for a new or used player. Can I do better than a Rega Apollo-R for less than 2K? If so, I need two or three recommendations to listen to.

Actually, comments about the Rega Apollo's recognizing CDs come up from time to time. Most are concerning CDRs, which Rega explains in the user booklet that if the CDR was recorded at greater than 8X, you are SOL.

I have had the original Apollo for 7 or 8 years now and on that rare occasion when a CD is not readable, I open the lid and reinsert the CD or I shut the player off and then back on and I am good to go. If Ricred is having this issue occur a lot, I would suggest contacting Rega about the matter. I own more than 5000 cds and have not come across more than a handful of damaged cds.
