such a nice deck...looking forward to hearing your impressions.....I have only recently picked up my first Rega bits, analog though both of them. ;-)
I'm back from Portland with my prize and I had a wonderful time. I had time to audition 4 wonderful speakers at length. The Spendor LS3/5r2, ProAc Tablette Anniversary, Nola Boxers and the PMC TB2i. More on that later as I definitely was able to form an impression of each and I took some notes.
^ Ohhh dude that suxs! I am slightly interested in this deck as I am looking for a new CDP. Where I bought the NAD they had an Apollo-R but I did not have time to give it a listen. Also I am not sure I want to spend that kind of money........also looking at a NAD 545BEE.
Suxs, you coulda had a nice weekend playing.
Damn Art. That really sucks. What's it doing? Or, actually, not doing?
Art mentioned the original Apollo, so I wonder if it's doing what the early ones did.
When I bought my Apollo the store gave me a loaner Apollo that was made a few years before (2006??) and it was very buggy. It seemed that every-other disc I loaded or every-other time I skipped a track it would get lost. When I picked my Apollo up I told them I was going to test it with many discs and put it through its paces before I took it home. I haven't had any issues with mine.
The issues with the software on the original are well documented. I hope Rega hasn't done that again.
