What is the story with Rega Appolo?

Rich:
You mentioned in the review of your system that Apollo is easy on ears. More relaxed and softer top is what I’m looking for in my upgrade. How does Music Hal compare with Apollo?
Thanks.
Alex

Toshiba SD 9200 was A rated by Stereophile in 2001. Its built quality is really impressive. I did a side by side comparison with Planet and Toshiba was a winner.
I'm running tube pre into ss amp but I'm getting tube amp.
Would Apollo be a better choice than Music Hal in this case?
Cheers,
Alex

Lngbruno,
I was considering cheap transport + decent DAC combo. The problem is that the quality of the clock in the transport is the limiting factor in the performance of the combo, unless you can set DAC clock to drive the transport.

Guys thank you for input! I used to buy stuff from Audiogone when I lived in US. If you get things at the right price the most what you can lose is shipping fees. Now I live in Canada and every item I buy on Audiagone costs me extra 20% thanks to the generosity of the government. Now I have to think a lot before I buy anything. I did not have chance to listen to Apollo yet. I did read all professional reviews but I always trust more an opinion of the people who are using the product since unlike “professionals” they don’t live of advertisement of the companies whose products they review. I will certainly consider Azur 840 and Jas Musik and listen to Apollo
