What is the story with Rega Appolo?


It’s time to upgrade my source - Toshiba SD 9200. I was considering Rega Apollo, but overall score for this player on www.audioreview.com is not very high and I see a lot of units being sold on the used market. That seems strange for a 2 year model.

The Apollo has its quirks. But so do a lot of other components. I've lived with mine for about a year and a half. The problem I had with it was easily fixed by leaving it unplugged over night. I'll spare you the rest of the details.

As with anything, there are better players for more money, and lesser players for less money. I've heard a ton of CD players, and I think its easily the best player for the money, but that's just my opinion. I srtongly dislike a few players mentioned here, but that doesn't mean that you'll feel the same way.

The Apollo is an excellent sounding player for the money. Its not the final word, but what really is? The only way to know for sure if you'll like it is to hear one.
