Design Innovation
Rega were the last major specialist hi-fi manufacturer to make a CD
player. We have used this time to observe the development of this
medium.
This has encouraged us to develop our own product that comes from
our own philosophies concerning sound quality, reliability and value
for money.
The
Apollo
CD player has a unique sound that harmonises with the
rest of our products and is in contrast to the tonal qualities of most
players.
Our proven top loading design remains for several reasons. Firstly,
complex motorised tray mechanisms are vulnerable to wear and
therefore a cause of unreliability. Secondly, the use of our underslung
transport location allows service engineers immediate access to the
next most unreliable part of any CD player (the laser diode
assembly).
