My friendly neighborhood Rega Dealer called me today and said that i could come down to his store and pick up a brand new Apollo in Black if i was interested. i was pissed of at him before for telling me that it would only take two weeks to get one and it has been just short of a month ,but when he called me today and when he said that he a new Apollo sitting there how could i resist ? i am listening to Kate Bush playing on the Apollo as i type this and i must say that this CDP has a very detailed yet organic presentation and with my silk dome Scanspeak tweeters i can not detect the slight tendancy towards siblance that a few of the reviewers noted. the bass delivery is ample and tight. i was concerned that i would find that loading discs with the player in between the shelves on my rack would be problematic but there is more than enough room and it is very easy to do, even for my eleven year old daughter Courtney who cant decide if she likes the looks of the red display or not. For $995.00 this sweet little CD player is a tough act to follow. sometime later this week i will take delivery of a new fully modified Black Jolida JD100A CDP from H.R.A.M and after i burn in the JD100A i will do a comparison of the two players. thanks....WCW III
