Audio Dropping Out on Rega Apollo and Saturn
Kbarkamian, I was using store bought perfect condition cd's. I do have cdr's but play them on my Denon 2910. Initialization failures were in the range of 1 of every 15 or 20 discs with all 4 machines. I rarely used the fast foward/rewind function....

Thanks for your comments Kbarkamian. Maybe there is something to your theory. But it does not explain other stuff. There are a number of other issues these machines have besides the fast foward freezing up. Is failure to initialize a disc or failu... 
Stanalog/Sugden gone from US?
I just reached him via email. He was having some trouble with the website and hopes to have it back up soon. Anyway here's the email address Stanalog@nycap.rr.com

shoez23, there has been no response from Rega UK about the bugs these machines exhibit. But there is a response from the US Rega distributer above (Steve Daniels- the sound organization). He says there has been almost no problem with the machines ... 
Stanalog/Sugden gone from US?
I found this link in a previous thread about Stanalog. I guess that is one advantage of dealing with somewhat larger companies, there is a larger network of dedicated people, I hear audio research has parts to service every product they ever made.... 
Stanalog/Sugden gone from US?
Jeffb, I agree he (George) was good to deal with and is selling some excellent and musical stuff, and also was forthcoming of the Sugden integrateds shortcomings, but Stanalog is not that easy to get a hold of (as far as I can tell it is just him ... 
Cambridge 840C, YES it is as good as the reviews
Best under 5000? well Reviewers tend to engage in hyperbole, this reminds me of Sam Tellings "best integrated ever" (regardless of price)statement for the LFD zero. Of course it is total hyperbole. I suspect partly it is becuase of the excitement ...

Indeed Rega has made no secret of all this, actually they made a big deal that they were the first ones to use the new system (which will probably eventually appear in other players as well), what they do make a secret of is that there are still b...

Doug, It is in the Sam space (stereophile) review of the Saturn and there is also information about it on Regas own website if you click on the review link to "what russ andrews thinks about the saturn". Sony and phillips announced awhile back tha... 
Audio Dropping Out on Rega Apollo and Saturn
Dick, My undestanding is that the system was designed by computer/software guys as opposed to audio guys. Rega gave the "redbook" to them and they created the new operating system. So, As you say you'd think they would have the foresight to allow ...

Dick, thanks for checking back and posting. The problems are usually occaisional and intermiitent, and hence why Rega says they are unable to duplicate them, so to them there are no problems. Any serviced or replacement machine will eventually exh...

Darrens, Absolutely there are plenty of people with these machines who report zero problems- as the reply from the Rega distributer may indicate. However I had 3 Apollo machines and a Saturn machine over a nearly 2 year period and every single one...

I dont have any wifi or infrared device of any kind in my house. I dont even have a cell phone. For awhile I sometimes thought the unplugging suggestion made the problem go away, only to always have it return. Please let us know by email or postin... 
Audio Dropping Out on Rega Apollo and Saturn
Bassdude, I agree a seller should disclose to the buyer. Most but not all of the problems are experienced by users who do not play entire discs. I told my buyer of the intermiittent issues these machines have, he said he plays entire discs, so all...

Wkass, I agree with your feeling. As you know me and doug shroeder used a total of 9 of these new Rega machines over a period of 18 months or more and all exhibited intermittent operational problems (which does not limit the bugs to just the first...
