Audio Dropping Out on Rega Apollo and Saturn
Wkass, I think the response offered by djohnson59 is probably the reason why slightly but not seriously scratched cd's drop out or skip on the new Rega machines. In addition to controlling laser focus and accuracy, Regas new operating system sets ...

Gigi Gryce "Nica's Tempo", this contains some superb Theloniuos Monk tracks. 
New rerence Rega CDP??
No thanks, given my experience with Rega's new cdp's (see Rega drop out thread). There are a number of other users that post with various problems. Me and Doug Shroeder are an isolated instance lol. 
Audio Dropping Out on Rega Apollo and Saturn
I postulate that the percentage of defective machines is greater than 5% for the following reasons: a) about 40 percent of problems in general simply go unreported (like crimes for example) b) defects are primarily manifested only by users who don... 
Audio Dropping Out on Rega Apollo and Saturn
Steve, thanks for your response. I'd like to say that indeed you and Allen at Audiowaves provided superior customer service surrounding the issues I had with the new Rega cd players. I am well aware you do not make the machines, merely provide sal... 
Audio Dropping Out on Rega Apollo and Saturn
I'd like to add that those who have the machines currently and say they operate fine, you may be in for a suprise. My 3rd Apollo worked fine for 6 months before bugging out, and got worse as time went on. I am convinced that the problem is bugs in... 
Audio Dropping Out on Rega Apollo and Saturn
Sorry to misinterpret your post. I have'nt had any problems with drop outs, only sporadic intermittent operational issues. I did ask my dealer about a firmware update and he said there is none. The way he and Rega tell it me and doug Shroeder are ... 
Need feedback on Rega Mira 3 integrated amp
The Mira is a pretty nice integrated and has a good phono stage for the price. Good build quality, but for the plastic volume knob. It's convenient to use. True the preamp gain is a bit low. It can be raised, just ask your dealer how to do it. Eve... 
Audio Dropping Out on Rega Apollo and Saturn
The Stereophile test results on the apollo (both use the exact same transport and operating system) were excellent for error correction. I never had a problem with a disc skipping on a Saturn or an Apollo. Any player will probably skip with a scra... 
Stanalog - Still in business ?
I'd like to correct my comment about the A21 fuses, 2.5 amp were the ones initially installed that had blown a few times on my AC line, Sugden UK sent me some others that worked fine (not one has blown) and they said to only use those ones. At any... 
Stanalog - Still in business ?
He's gone alot. I have communicated with him a couple times since I got an A21. Initially I had a problem with the mains fuse blowing. Actually Sugden UK sent me 250 volt 2.5 amp fuses and this did the trick. But Stanalog does not have the latest ... 
Arcam VRS Rega
Owned both, both are good. CD23 had a nice balance, good detail, and stage- to sum up organic and musical...good ambience. It began to skip intermittantly after 5 years use. It was stolen shortly after. Replaced with Jupiter 2000 which has better ... 
Arcam CD-33T FMJ vs Rega Jupiter 2000
I used to have the FMJ CD23(with "ring" DAC), which was stolen. I really liked that machine. For a replacement I demoed the Arcam CD33 (with "upsampling") and Jupiter 2000. I preferred the Jupiter 2000 for my own reasons. I did'nt like the new CD3...
