Audio Dropping Out on Rega Apollo and Saturn

Hi, i owned an Apollo, and had the same problem with discs that were not in great shape. But when i put the same discs in my Planet 2000, they played fine. I sold the Apollo and kept the P2000. Not as detailed as the Apollo, but a warmer, more natural/involving, real sounding player.
I also have a Quad CDP-2 and i highly recommend it also. It is very detailed sounding without being to lean.
Just one man's opinion.
Good luck, Alan

No problems here.(Apollo user)
*Do you own those two (2) players at this moment???*

Very strange.
1)Your problem
2)Owning both
3)No system, record, answers, questions.

Sorry, but it smells like a phony, premeditated attempte to discredit these CD players.

However, I am still interested in detailes of your story.

As a dealer I noticed Regas were sensitive to acoustic feedback. In other words a loud peak would make them skip/dropout. Is it doing it at low volume too? If so it's a read issue. If the problem only occurs at high volume, presumably when a bass peak happens try better isolation.

Apollo user here, and NO issues whatsoever (dont wanna jinx myself). But, I also use vibrapod isolators too..

I have the Apollo and don't have this problem. However, I treat my Cds more like LPs and they don't have any scratches to speak of.

Rega makes a big deal of the fact that the Apollo and Saturn analyze the CD before playing and optimize the player for each CD. It's possible that this means backing off of some of the error correction logic if able and that the player is being fooled in this particular case. This might also account for the sensitivity to vibration that Electroid mentions (although I have not experienced this). If the player were to back off of most of its error correction believing it was not necessary for a particular CD and was then hit with a large vibrational peak. Again, this is all speculation since, as far as I know, Rega has not provided details of this "optimization" routine.
