| Over emphasis on reviews.... Reviews used judiciously have been very helpful to finding good euqipment. I received Stereophile for about two years, and in that time, I believe it did absolutely nothing for finding an affordable outperforming component, whether speaker or cdp,... | |
| Who's heard the Rega Apollo? Greetings,I've been boosting the awareness of the Apollo for some time now. I'm an owner of one for about 1 month now. Superb sound. Terrifically musical. One of the amazing things about it is that older discs are "livened" up amazingly well. Wher... | |
| Which CD player? By the way, I've owned both the Ah! Njoe Tjoeb 4000 with upsampler, as well as the Rega Planet 2000. Neither one was even close to the quality of sound in the Apollo. | |
| Which CD player? Look at the Rega Apollo. Hottest new technology that completely transforms redbook playback. You WON'T be disappointed! | |
| My first impressions of my Portal Panache Mjvashon,Excellent review. You've got me all worked up about whether to try a Panache! The biggest drawback for me would be the lack of remote volume control. That's a must for me. I simply am adjusting the volume all the time. I'd be up and out o... | |
| Will I notice the differance? I own the Rega Apollo, and it is by far the most beautiful sounding cdp I've ever owned (I've also had the Planet 2000, the Ah! Njoe Tjoeb 4000 with upsampler, etc.)The next batch of Apollos won't be here until beginning of March. So, save your pe... | |
| Cable auditions - Hard Work? The differences can be verys subtle. If too subtle, I figure they're worth ignoring. Case in point, I just tried for the first time three of those Black Diamond Racing cones. My intellect said, "You know better than to think there'll be a signific... | |
| Best cd player for under $800.00 For $200 more, get the newest technology in cd's in the Rega Apollo. Have fun trying to find one. Totally short supply. Selling out instantly. You'll know why when you hear it. | |
| Cable auditions - Hard Work? I did a blind test using Audioquest dbs cables. I put on Rippingtons, and then after a few minutes switched to Joss Stone. There was a difference. Put in Harmonic Techology cables. The difference remained...I concluded that no cables are able to m... | |
| Rega Apollo & Sony X5000 I have not had the opportunity to compare the Jupiter to the Apollo. However, I understand that the Apollo is better than the Jupiter. I understand that the Jupiter was only marginally better than the Planet 2000, and many people decided the extra... | |
| Rega Apollo & Sony X5000 I don't know who would've had the means to do an A/B comparison at this point. The Apollo is so new it's not even out of most dealer's back rooms yet! You would be deciding on mere guess. (I recall hearing a Sony ES higher end unit. I wouldn't dre... | |
| REGA APOLLO CDP Hey! That's MY Review! Wow! I'm Famous now! Tee hee hee...Funny, I was just about to post the review here for posterity. People, this Apollo is rediculously good for the money. No SACD, but I believe it does mp3 and wave(?) files. Just go listen t... | |
| CDP for Naim Greetings, I'm a new Apollo owner who's been gushing about it on Audio Assylum. See my review. However, I know there's trickiness involved in mixing NAIM stuff. IF one could mix another cdp in with the Naim equipment, I can't think of another bett... | |
| is it sacrilege? Tell her you would like to put speakers in front of her vanity mirror in bedroom. Fair is fair! | |
| Whoever gets those Chapman T-7's just listed By the way, FYI I am not affiliated in any way with Chapman or the dealer selling. I am a deleriously happy T-7 owner (been blessed with two pair). Did a day trip and drove 450 miles for the second pair. Totally worth it!They are hand crafted by S... |
