Rega Saturn. Is it really a giant killer?
Saxo,I had the Apollo for about 6 mos. Used pretty often. Im sure it had well over several hundred hours on it by the time I'd had enough of it. My first one had some of the well documented early "glitches" of the programming computer, the dealer ... 
Rega Saturn. Is it really a giant killer?
Saxo,Yeah, that was the review..I went looking for that stereophile last night, but remembered I threw them all in the trash :-) so much for mags and reviews/reviewers opinions eh! As for the Apollo...I was actually very impressed with it upon ini... 
Rega Saturn. Is it really a giant killer?
Can't remember what mag...but, I read that the new Saturn is very similar to the Apollo in sonics. Not much better overall..just a bit more of the same, and certainly not worth nearly a $kilobuck more according to the reviewer.Your best advice wil... 
Speakers under $750.00...Preposterous Notion?
Not preposterious at all! Your hypothetical is interesting. I think that at a given price point..It matters not what company of the two you would buy from. Both, despite the different product lines and price ranges, still have to build a worthy sp...

Zu Druid questions
Krausz,I have not tried the Zu IBIS or Varial..I bought the Libtecs from a memeber who upgraded to the IBIS cable and in our chat, he mentioned (quite profoundly) that the Libtecs were so very close to the IBIS in his system, that it was not a ver... 
Best speakers under $2000 to match with a SET amp?
Im thinking of Zu's Tone speaker in your room. The Druids may work as well. Tough room demensions to work with, but definately workable. Another speaker could be the Ref 3A MM De Capo i at 92 db. effec. 
Zu Druid questions
Jaybo, The Ushers are very good. Ive owned 2 pairs.. But, classics? come on really? 
Zu Druid questions
Ah...so you dont have the Druids placed on something hard like a slab or granite base? This is important to do, since it will focus and tune the down firing slot loaded area under them. Carpet will only diffuse and make the bass weak, wooly and so... 
Zu Druid questions
Jack,Appreciate your post regarding your initial perspective of the Druids sound. Thanks for sharing.Its obvious you hear some of what they do very well in terms of harmonic coherency and tonal truthfullness. I find it interesting also your noting... 
Do I go vintage or newer?
Of course, there is always the venerable VPI Scout with JMW9 standard arm. But, getting one used that lasts for more than 2 mins in the listings on Agon is near impossible! 
Common
As Doug mentioned, Classics/RTI vinyl issue is well documented, Ive bought and returned Kralls LP 2X...as well as one Norah Jones..It cd for me with any Classics recordings unfortunately.Ken 
Zu Druid questions
Congrats Jack!...They are the latest Druids. Zu is selling the remaining stock of matte black and will be going to gloss black production as well as the other colors. But, the matte finish has ended, thus this sale it appears. I dont think the 60 ...
