Thanks d2girls & jafant, I have just picked up a Rega Apollo 35th Anniversary model. Man, this is nice sounding articulate player.
And exceptional match with the Heed and the Reference 3A Dulcet'. Wow, and wow. The Rega way outperforms the 752bd (with red-book cds) and very close to the Primare. But, alas, my memory is beginning to fade...
Regarding the New Apollo: I am now wondering, and I am curious though (as usual), how the newest Rega would compare with the 35th...The search continues.
On a sad note, my Linn Majik 1 arrived today, it was thrashed in shipping. Can't blame anyone specific, as it was handled by three (or 4) separate carriers. The shipper (form the UK) did an excellent job of proper packing and protection. But, even that wasn't enough to keep the shippers from dropping on a corner and then another hole where an object penetrated the box and super padded wrapping to demolish the IEC inlet and buckle the top of the unit. It was a beautifully maintained Integrated by the first/original owner. An item in that condition will be very difficult to find and will probably give that each up. I was so looking forward to listing to this. My misfortune with carriers is growing at a rapid pace. Darn, darn, darn. (as Herman Monster would say)...
Cheers.
